With high school graduation behind him, Alex was free to live out the summer of his dreams before setting his mind on the college life ahead of him. Father’s Day is around the corner, Alex figured he’d grab a gift for his old man. Since he’s finally old enough, maybe a gag gift was in order.
The mall was a tad too far for his liking for an afternoon day trip alone. Alex lived on the outskirts of major metro area. Traffic was just shit. Instead, he heard of an adult store that was in his local neighborhood. It was a bit isolated from other businesses, but that’s normal.
Setting out that Saturday, Alex made his way over to area mentioned online. The name was concealed, so no one person can pinpoint the shop down.
The shop had blackout windows but featured your stereotypical “open” sign. With some unease at the sketchy looking building, Alex walked in to check it out. Sketchy-ness aside, it can’t be that bad. Worse comes to shove, he could always go somewhere else right?
“Hey! Welcome into SRU store, may we you find something?” The lady behind the counter seemed overly joyous for such an isolated store. Alex waved her off and walked down the aisles.
As he browsed around, he came upon a steampunk styled pocket watch. It was out of place in this kind of store, so he opened it up. Noticing two things, first that the watch face was in a very good condition. Easy to read typeface, however the numbers and decorum were in an engraved pink coloring. Strong contrast to the black silver encasing. The second being on the left side was a very old and warn picture of a naked woman. She featured tits that would make some very shy guys nervous if she looked their way. What’s more, is that from her position she was sucking some phat dick from, presumably, the photographer. Her hair was a classic strawberry blond and done up in a dated finger wave style. Alex thought this a great gag gift for his dad. He could always replace the image later, one of mom.
It wasn’t too expensive, even though the casing was clearly quite new and well made. For $69 it was practically a steal. Alex took some time to walk around the store for anything else that might have stuck out at him. – With nothing that seemed interesting now, Alex headed over to the checkout.
“Hello again dear! I see you’ve picked up a pocket watch from our lovely STEAMPUNK line. Would you like to know how it works?”
“It’s just a pocket watch, what more could it do?”
“Oh.” She smiled, “Nothing in this store meets the eye.” Giggling, she rung up the watch and placed it in a gift bag.
“Wait, I didn’t want to buy a gift bag here.” Alex spat. Mallmart™ was going to be the next stop, they’re so much cheaper. He thought.
“Don’t worry dear, this is on the house!” She pushed the bag towards Alex and waved as he began to walk out. “Alex! I won’t spoil the surprise, but keep in mind the picture in place is what styles the wish. Have fun!” And with that he walked out of the store and headed home.
