Prompt:
Halloween is fast approaching
Here the ghouls are coming fast
Stein fixes costumes, no questions asked.
After all it is his job…
So my friends, brew up a scenario!
A dastardly wardrobe malfunction!
Only the funniest fix of them all will move on!

“I-I just bent over and – and I didn’t think anything like that would happen – and he’s supposed to be small,you know, so I figured the suit should be, too, and – “
As he stitched in the last length of bright green thread into the split seat of the costume, Stein lamented the fact that his customers were too obtuse to realize that “no questions asked” meant “I don’t care, now go sit silently in the corner”. And what person with any sanity wants to dress up like a green rabbit?
Job done, gold and costume exchanged hands and the customer slouched out of the store with a quietly mumbled “I just want people to like me”.
Stein couldn’t help thinking that they had at least some chance of success. Pasty-faced mouthbreathers with no sense of personal space were not his favorite of customers, but at least they weren’t as bad as those creeps who keep staring at his butt.
