How Pumped Are You? by Kris P. Kreme
Two men in suits are outside the Halloween Haunts specialty store, surveying random shoppers with only one simple question.
“How pumped are you?”
These men may not be what they seem and the question certainly is far from simple as upon answering each finds that being pumped can be taken so many different ways, but in the end they truly are nothing less than taken.
Readers Scare Month surprises with some unexpected guests, bringing expected chaos.
Halloween was always one of the most popular retail seasons, a rare time with Halloween specialty stores did exceptional business, crowds in and out all day. One specialty store though has something scarier happening outside the doors than inside this year.
Two odd men in suits stand outside the Halloween Haunts superstore, accompanied by little more than a bunch of brightly colored balloons, often lost among the huge Halloween yard decorations on display in the parking lot. They are calling out to customers, only asking for a moment of their time and posing one simple question.
“How pumped are you?” they ask, leaving whoever they ask to interpret the question for themselves, most simply confused and ignoring the strange men on their way to or from the popular holiday themed store.
Those unfortunate enough to fall prey to the seemingly harmless men and their question include a young woman dressed in ballerina costume, a girl who after shrugging and saying she’s super pumped, finds that being light on her feet can truly be a humiliating horrifying way to go… up into the sky that is.
Assisted only by their mysteriously large air compressor the men are only waiting for an answer, then offering to quite literally pump everyone up in various forms.
A man and his wife, as well as a pretty sorority girl are helpless against the impending changes coming their way, changes that can only be described as pumped up fun of one variation or another.
But just who are these two remarkably ordinary looking men and are they even men at all? Find out in the twisted tale that will definitely keep readers pumped about where Readers Scare Month is taking them.
