When Sarah, a timid girl fresh out of high school, takes a seasonal job at a Halloween store, she notices her fellow employees behave strangely. They all seem to have their own little quirks, and many of them appear amused by her naivete. This is her first job, so she doesn't want to rock the boat too much, but she can't help feeling like an outsider in a workplace where everyone else acts like they're on the same wavelength. She soon discovers that this gap between them is because she's the only human in a staff full of monsters!
*While this story is inspired by the author's experience working a seasonal Halloween store job, any similarities between the characters and real people are coincidental. Every bit of this story is fiction and just a fun narrative for the spooky season!
