Looking around, most of Uncle Jack’s costume’s were way out of your price range. $34 for an army man costume. $76 for a nurse costume plus wig. $9,999.99 for a fox costume! Uncle Jack was probably cool enough to let you try one on. But what if you broke it? You didn’t have the money to replace one of these. And if it was true they were magical. What if it got stuck on? You needed something A LOT cheeper to test if Uncle Jack was lying or not.
After a bit of wander you found a bin to the side of the store filled with cheap plastic masks. The sign hanging from a pole in the middle of the container said $.99, but there was a price tag on some that said $1.25 or $0.89. There were masks of all kinds, but most were animals:
Cat
Dog
Skunk
Fox
Raccoon
Monkey
Lizard
Crocodile
Snake
Lion
Cheetah
Buffalo
T Rex
Triceratops
And many more underneath the surface you couldn’t see. There was also a plastic clown mask that was thrown in without a problem. You try to ask Uncle Jack if these cheep masks were magic also, but he was busy with another customer and you thought it best not to interrupt him.
You shrug and pick out a plastic mask at random to try on and see if it changes you.
