"Another shift, another worthless day," I say to myself, sighing. I wish I could just leave this scummy town of old pumkins.
My name is Rein, one of the 2 humans and Pumkin Town. The other is my coworker, Zeke. We both work at a small restaurant, and the only restaurant, in Pumkin Town. Why we're in business, we don't know, as we've never had a single customer. Oh well, the money is worth it.
"Quit pouting and get to the desk, our Boss is coming," Zeke ordered me. "He said he was going to check up on us today."
"What's the point? If I get fired, I can finally leave and go to place with my kind, a place where pumpkins don't have freaky faces."
"Don't say that, you love it here!"
"Gee, nice sense of humor, dingus."
"Ahehe, am I interrupting somethin'?" A round figure with thin legs stepped inside, and smiled at us with its unhumanly straight teeth. "How are my two fav'rite non-pun'kins?"
"We're fine, Mr Humphrey," me and Zeke moaned at the same time.
The round man with a country tongue was none other than our boss, Mr Humphrey himself, the Hungry Pumkin.
