    July 22, 2009 — With 424 words & Read — Labelled as: Story
    “Big Animal Inflatables is a brand new kind of shop with a very creative concept.
    Here you can buy or rent new and used inflatable animals.
    We have all kinds of customers, most of them want to rent our inflatables for parties.
    Some of them are collectors, others just want their favorite animal all blown up.
    And the special thing about our inflatables is that it contains the actual animal’s air!
    Isn’t that amazing?
    Business is going well, things are just getting started and we have high hopes for the future.”

    Jensen just told this introduction to the customer standing in front of him, which he tells every person that enters his brand new shop.

    “So what are you looking for in our shop?” He asks the customer.
    But without waiting for a reply he continues
    “We have inflatables made from nice smooth soft rubber, and also a lot made from a type of plastic.
    I myself prefer rubber, it feel nicer when you touch the animals and doesn’t pop fast.”

    “What kind of animals are you looking for? We have placed them in orders on which type they are.
    If you would just follow me i will give you the grand tour, in our first two aisles we have small Mammals and big Mammals.”


    “And our third has Cats and Dogs, the fourth here we have some nice Bears and all kind of Birds.”
    “The fifth aisle has Spiders and other Insects, and at the end are the Primates.”
    “And last but not least here we have our Amphibians and Reptiles.
    So pretty much just snakes. Hmmm don’t they look fabulous.”


    After the tour the two walk back to the counter.
    “So have you made up your mind on what you would want to rent or buy?” He asks the customer, finally allowing him to speak.
    “Hmph Hmm Hmphh Hmmh”
    “Oh sorry i had to unzip my mask first.”
    The customer replies breathing heavily.
    A customer enters the shop, and leaves after seeing a man wearing a bottomless gimp suit firmly holding up a rubber snake.
    “I just like to complete my collection of snakes, this ‘Crotalus horridus’ will complete it perfectly.”
    The shop bell rings again and a horde of people enter the shop.
    “I will be with you in just a minute.” Jens starts to finish the sale of the snake when the horde of people start to run trough the shop.
    They are yelling “Free these animals last breath!” and popping the balloons with sharp objects.
    Before he could catch one of them they were already out of the shop and running down the street.

    “Damn You! you animal rights activists!” Jensen yells at them.
