Some Things Are Cheap For a Reason

This one in particular, a costume that changes the wearer.


Suzy has found it in the costume bin at the newly opened thrift store. It looked brand new, and they only wanted ninety-nine cents for it. Wondering how a new giraffe costume would end up at the thrift store, she purchased it and went home. When she got home Suzy decided to wear it and surprise her husband. While attending to chores her neck suddenly began to ache and she felt disoriented. She sat down and closed her eyes.  It was like someone was trying to pull her head off. Almost as sudden as it pain started, it stopped.

She opened her eyes, it seemed she was sitting higher than normal. Suzy stood up and again was greeted by the same feeling of being higher. She walked over to the mirror, watching her feet the entire way, wondering why the floor seemed further away than it had moments ago. Looking into the mirror she couldn't see her head, stepping back until she could, Suzy was greeted with a peculiar sight.

Suzy couldn't believe it, it looked as though someone had stretched  out her neck. She ran her hands over her neck, they didn't stop where they should have. Tilting her head from side to side she tested the flexibility of her new neck. It finally dawned on her that it have been the costume that changed her. Making sure not to hit her head, that only took once to find out that would hurt, she made her way to the bedroom

With the costume removed she began to redress in her previous attire. Standing in front of the bedroom mirror Suzy waited for the change to reverse, nothing happened. Disappointed, she folded the costume and returned it to its bag. Thankfully, her husband was a tall man and their cars still had plenty of head room for the poor woman. She drove to find the thrift  again, return the costume, and hope they could return her to normal.

Suzy thought this was the place, but where the store was only an hour ago sat a vacant lot. Freaking out she drove home. Home once more, she waited in the bedroom for the return of her husband. Thinking it might ease the surprise of his changed wife, Suzy once again donned the cursed costume. She waited to see if any thing else would change. To her relief, nothing did.

Returning home the husband was shocked by the sight of his wife. Suzy showed him the garment and told him the sory of what happened.  Eventually they both grew to accept the change, she loved the necking during sex, and he loved that his wife was now just as tall as he was. She even wears the giraffe costume on Halloween, bemusing all who see her.
