Haunted House

Adam was 25 and never did get into a trade or get a college degree so his employment opportunities were limited and so he decided to take a job at a local haunted house as it was October and it paid a fair wage. He'd also get to have the fun of scaring some unsuspecting people as the position he applied for included dressing up in a zombie costume and jump scaring them.




It was his first day and his boss was doing a bit of an initiation for him before the start of his shift. She presented his costume to him, which included a swamp green zombie mask with jagged teeth and a general aesthetic of rotted flesh, a ragged grey shirt with holes and tears in it and a similarly vagrant pair of pants that were a size too small for Adam but it was all they had. Adam changed into the costume, the pants hugging his groin and slightly constricting it causing it to bulge out a tad, but it was manageable.




"So Adam, make sure you stay completely in character while you're in the haunted house to make sure there's a complete sense of immersion for our guests, I take a lot of pride in providing them the most authentic experience I can" his boss explained




"Understood Ma'am, I'll go get into position and make sure it's a night they won't forget" Adam replied.




Adam crept through the dark rooms looking for a good spot to jump out and induce some terror. He ended up finding a secluded corner opposite to a distracting array of synthetic spiderwebs complimented by a witchy ambience of cauldrons, spell books and potion bottles. The spectacle combined with an audio device emitting witch noises would capture the attention adequately leaving the guest susceptible to Adam's surprise.




After several minutes of patient waiting Adam detected some movement and chatter dawning on him, it was getting closer.




"Oh my god Lana we're in college now there's nothing frightening about this place"




"I know, it's just something about these places give me the creeps even tho I know it's all fake props"




Adam smelled blood and planned on scaring the trepidatious college girl for all it was worth.




As the girls were drawn in by the macabre cluster of skeletons Adam readied himself. Before the girls turned the corner they stopped to more closely observe the cauldrons and webbing. Adam could now see the girls and crept a little closer to them to catch them off guard the moment they turned around. As the trio grew bored of the decorations and turned around Adam parted his legs for stability in a wide stance while he raised his hands in the air almost like a tiger ready to pounce.




He screamed, doing his best zombie impression the moment they turned around "RAHHHHHHHHHAHHH"




It was like everything went into slow motion for Adam as the front girl's leg kicked out swiftly, her pink leather leopard Doc Marten boot flying through the air making contact with the soft orbs hanging between his legs, crushing them brutally against his pelvis with a loud THUMP.




Adam dropped to his knees grasping desperately at his squashed testicles "Arrrrghhhhhh my fucking balls errgghhhhhh"




The girls all started giggling loudly "Ouch, you got him right in his zombie balls"




The trio walked around Adam nonchalantly while he continued groaning and cursing, laughing the whole way and leaving him to deal with his balls problem.




"See I told you there's nothing to be scared of in here, you got the scariest thing in here choking on his balls" one of them said reaffirming her earlier encouragement




The initially cautious kicker looked back admiring her work, Adam still groaning. Adam could hear all their comments and felt perturbed how casually they regarded his situation. He looked over to his left first taking a moment to glance at the boots that blasted his nuts, they were made of thick, stiff leather and he knew why her kick walloped with such force, then his eyes rose to see a smug look of satisfaction on the girls face.




"What are you staring at.... there's a whole haunted house to see, go see it" Adam insisted annoyed at her indulging his humiliated state, wanting it to end sooner rather than later.




The girl got a sour grapes look on her face and marched off indignantly.




For the next half hour patrons poured through the haunted house without incident. Adam's balls were a little swollen but he took solace in his ability to evoke screams, it diminished his personal shame to see other people react to things in an embarrassing manner. It got quiet for a few minutes and then Adam heard his bosses voice.




"Come out for a few minutes we need to speak" she said in a concerned tone.




He followed her out to the lobby wondering if perhaps something was wrong based on the tone of her voice. He then took off his mask to look her in the eye when he spoke to her.




"So Adam, I believe I told you to stay in character, a customer came and told me you were quite rude to her? So not only were you talking..... which zombies are not capable of but you were also condescending to our guests? I told you... you need to stay in character" she said unimpressed.




Adam realized the girl that kicked his balls must have gotten so angry at him telling her off that she snitched on him.




"I know I'm sorry it's just... she kicked me in the groin when I startled her and I couldn't control my reaction" replied Adam attempting to remedy the situation




"I really don't care about any of your excuses.... we run a tight ship around here and so far you're making a terrible impression, maybe this job isn't for you after all"




Adam panicked a little as he really needed the money from this job, it paid the highest hourly wage he's ever earned. "Please is there anyway I can make up for this, give me a second chance"




"I've got a couple of ideas, first you can apologize to the girl you insulted, she's right over there" his boss said in a reasonable tone




Adam nodded and walked over to the girl who was still with her friends. His boss followed with her arms crossed and a look of expectation on her face. He politely said "I'm sorry for being an asshole to you earlier, I was just in a lot of pain, but I get that it was an accident"




"Well you made me feel terrible, I mean it was a total accident, and to be honest if that's the way you treat people I think you deserved the kick in the dick"




Adam was shocked she was taking the moral high ground after relishing in the aftermath of the accident, rubbing his apology in his face.




Adam's boss interjected "I've got to agree with her Adam... that's no way to speak to a girl"




He swallowed his pride realizing he was outnumbered by people that don't understand what it's like to get kicked in the testicles. "Again I'm sorry" was the only thing he could think to say that wouldn't get him fired.




The girls walked away and Adam's boss turned to him. "There's one more thing I think needs to be done. I can't risk you damaging our reputation any more than you already have, people come here for an authentic haunted house experience... you let circumstance get in the way of staying in character and so we're going to make sure that doesn't happen again"




His boss grabbed a roll of duck tape and walked up to him, she pulled off a large band of it and gently stuck it over his mouth. "There we go..... make some noises I want to hear what you sound like"




"Mffffrrrrrmmmmmfff" Adam did his best impression of a zombie ensuring to sound as menacing as possible.




"Okay, we can work with that, I'd almost say you sound more like a zombie now, alright get back to work!" his boss said pleased with her idea.




Adam stuck his mask back on and went back into the haunted house. In the couple short hours he'd been on the job he'd gained familiarity of the environment and was starting to become adept at knowing where to stand to surprise people the best.




For the next hour Adam was able to rattle the feathers of around 80% of the people that came through, many of who were college students due to a college being in close proximity. Things proceeded without incident until one particularly nervous college girl ran fleeing in the other direction. Adam feeling satisfied with his work smiled behind the tape and mask, something about scaring people like that was hilarious to him.




A few minutes later a 21 year old girl with her brunette hair in a bun wearing a white crop top came storming in with a look of determination and anger on her face.




"Are you the loser that scared my friend? You know you don't have to take your job so seriously? Stop being such a tryhard"




Adam wanted to apologize for scaring her friend and explain he was just doing his job but he remembered the tape when the only sound he made was "Urrmmmffmmmmm"




"Are you mocking me? I'm trying to talk to you about a problem and you're making zombie noises at me? You really do take this too seriously, well maybe you speak this language" she reached out and snatched Adam's sack, it wasn't difficult for her to get a hold of his balls given the constricting state of his pants and his protruding bulge. Her claw reached behind his testicles and yanked them towards her, her grip was unyielding fueled by her anger she squeezed hard. The manner in which she grabbed them ensured there was no escape until she decided to let them go.




"Mffmmerrrrggurrrrrrr" Adam groaned a bit in pain through the tape but it really did just sound like he was being stubborn and mocking her with zombie noises




"You really don't know when to quit do you" the enraged girl said as she began twisting his nuts counter-clockwise with her right hand. Beneath the mask Adam's face contorted, his eye twitched and he grit his teeth as the girl wringed out his balls. Adam wanted to take off his mask and show her that he wasn't mocking her and that he had tape over his mouth but he knew if his boss found out he'd get fired for sure for breaking character.




"The next time you want to frighten someone like that, remember this" the girl then used her free hand to deliver a hard punch to Adam's trapped balls. Adam's head darted to the side reflexively almost as if to avoid having to watch his balls get squished.




"MFFFFmmmmffurrrghghhhhh" Adam groaned feeling dizzy and dropping to the ground. The girl ran out of the room. After a few minutes Adam pulled himself together and went to go looking for the girl that assaulted him, pulling off his mask to get a better view of the area so he could hold her accountable but she was nowhere to be found.




"Adam what are you doing? Why are you taking off your mask during your shift? It breaks the immersion now that people can see beneath the mask!....... That's it.... you're going in the Hannibal Lecter suit or I'm firing you... and keep that tape on, I can't be wasting a whole roll of tape on you" Adam's boss shouted at him clearly frustrated.




Adam looked at her silenced by the tape he tried to plead with his eyes for a chance to explain. She didn't even look him in the eyes she just went and grabbed the straight jacket and mask from the Silence of the Lambs and helped him get suited into it. Adam realized why she wanted him to wear this suit.... his hands would be restricted and he wouldn't be able to take off his mask. Given the design of the mask Adam was able to see clearly now without limitation which he was thankful for.




"Alright now get back in there Adam... this is your last chance, anymore issues and you're gone" she said, her patience clearly tested and at its limit




Adam sighed through the tape, his testicles still pulsating from the earlier abuse and walked back into the Haunted House. Though dampened slightly Adam's spirit was not completely broken, he still had a will in him to scare the customers, success in this would be the only silver lining of the day. He came up with an idea. He layed down on the floor, skeletons on both side of him trying to blend in with the scenery and appear as just a prop. One leg he layed straight out and the other he had bent at the knee, allowing his nuts to hang and not be squeezed between his legs so they could breathe a little while they recovered.




People would come through and once they got close Adam would start squirming around in his bindings mumbling aggressively and staring at them with his best menacing killer eyes. The surprise worked remarkably well on almost everyone, his plan was working and he was starting to enjoy himself again.




"Eric had me come down to his beachhouse last weekend and he fucked me so well, his dick is huge"




Adam overheard the conversation of the approaching group of girls, he assumed they were most likely girls from the same college as the trio from earlier, as some sort of symbolic revenge Adam decided to really try and scare this group, it was the least he could do to gain back some of his pride.




The moment the girls footsteps were in front of him he squirmed wildly in his straight jacket doubling down on his murderous eyes and screaming through his tape.




"MMRRRMMMARRRRRRRRR"




The front girl panicked not realizing Adam was an actual person and reflexively stomped on his testicles with a pair of pure white Doc Martens of the same lace up structural design as the pair on the girl from earlier. Adam's voice went from that of a loud masculine growl to a high pitched whine as his balls were flattened into the ground. He went cross-eyed for a second and tried to instinctually cover up his groin from further assault but the straight jacket ensured he couldn't.




"MMFFFFFFFFFF"




Within a split second the girl was still panicking and stomped down on his testicles a second time. Adam looked down to see the familiar design of boots planted between his legs, it was the worst case of deja vu he ever experienced.




As her foot retreated realizing what just happened Adam rolled over onto his stomach moaning. The group started laughing at him as he groaned resenting how trendy this particular design of boots was at the local college.




The group continued laughing walking away and the girl that stomped him remarked "Good luck with your balls, I hope I didn't castrate you"
