Something Unique

"Well, last year I went with a Witch costume, and I felt invisible." Lauren explained. There was something in her eyes when she said that word. Lauren hated feeling invisible. "This year, I want to wear something that no one has seen before. Something that would shock people and turn heads."

"Risque?" The elderly woman asked. She bobbed her head knowingly.

"It doesn't have to be." Lauren looked around. All the costumes, at least in the front of the store, looked pretty normal. "But, if that's what it takes, fine. I don't mind showing off a bit of skin."

"Of course, Of course." The old woman nodded. The older man didn't look up from his chess board. For a moment, Lauren got a strange chill down her spine. She hadn't seen his seat before, but it was quite strange. An uncomfortable looking mass of latex that couldn't have been initially designed as a chair. "We have a special section for more unique outfits in the back. Would you be so kind as to follow me?"
