Trapped in Transaction – Halloween Story
Halloween Shopping
So, apparently, witches shop online now. And not just witches the whole underworld was shopping. Vampires filled their carts with sunscreen, zombies wanted brain-shaped cupcakes, and ghosts… well, they kept forgetting their passwords.
And guess who got stuck… in their shopping receipt? Me!
They scanned me at midnight… Item#9… ‘Refunded Soul’. I told the cashier I wasn’t for sale. She winked and said, “Everything’s 50% off after dark.”
Now? I successfully stand above the Grand Total: 666’s. The receipt’s fading, but my name is still printed. Right under ‘Vampire sunscreen – SPF Sunproof for Fangs’ What even is that?! If that was not enough, she even bought
Shopping List
- ‘A bag of emotional support cobwebs’
- ‘Glow-in-the-dark garlic (for stylish vampires)’,
- ‘A zombie skincare kit: “Because dead skin deserves love too’
- ‘A broomstick with Bluetooth but no brakes’
- ‘Discounted holy water (buy 1 exorcism, get 1 free)’
- ‘A “limited edition” pumpkin spice coffin’
- ‘A Ouija board app subscription (99 souls per month)’
Then the cashier added one Refund Slip for a Failed Exorcism and said, ‘Better keep it… you never know who’ll come back.
Trapped
Now I’m trapped between ‘Subtotal: Despair’ and ‘Taxes: Eternal.’ They say you can’t buy happiness but apparently, you can buy me!
