Working for Halloween

I stepped off the bus and walked the short distance to the 'Costumes and More!' shop. I couldn't believe I had agreed to do this, but if I was ever going to buy a car, I needed to get the money. You've probably seen them, this particular costume shop always has someone in costume out in front holding a sign and waving to the cars driving by. They seemed to like to vary the costumes, I guess to show off their selection.

So, when Brad, who was the manager, called me about doing it, I wasn't too sure. Sure I needed the money, but who wants to dress up like Spider-Man and stand waving at traffic for two hours? After I was hesitant, Brad upped the ante and was willing to pay me a little extra. He said it was since he knew me.

I walked up and pushed the door open. A small bell rang with a chime like a church bell. I guess it was supposed to be spooky, but it was really just cheesy. Of course, the whole place was. I guess that was part of the fun really. The girl behind the counter looked up as I came in. She came over towards me.

"Hi, can I help you?" her name tag, read 'Anna'. She was dressed in a witches costume. Not one of the really sexy ones, which was a shame. She was kinda cute, a bit of a big girl, but still quite cute. I wondered if she'd look good as a vamped up witch. I've always had a thing for big girls. I also wondered how I'd look as a vamped up witch, or even in her plain witch costume. As a long-time cross dresser, I always wondered about those sorts of things. Halloween was a favorite time for trannies, but I hadn't had the courage to go out dressed yet.

"I'm Tom, I'm here to see Brad." I replied.

"Oh," she said, "I'll let him know."

She headed toward the back, and I turned to look through the costumes. Brad and I had gone to school together, though he graduated a year ahead of me. I barely knew the guy, but someone at school had mentioned they'd worked for him a couple of times, and the money wasn't bad. They'd usually let you keep the costume, too. Since they didn't do resales, they only sold brand new costumes. I'd mentioned something back about needing some money, and it sounded pretty good. I guess they'd mentioned me, because Brad called a few days later.
