[Story] Between his career and volunteer work, John always had a busy schedule. This Halloween, he decided to take a break from the usual must-sees and instead, he chose to keep things simple. He slept early, away from any screen, and woke up refreshed. The next day, he swept the fallen leaves outside his doorstep and carved a pumpkin for decoration.
