Joey was whistling to himself as he walked on home from the movie theater, down the sidewalk of a small city one fall evening, as the sun had begun to set illuminating the sky in a bright orange color. The sidewalk was unusually empty, but Joey didn't think anything of it, it was halloween night, and the other furs were more than likely home early to get ready for the night. Joey however had no real plans for the night, as much as he loved halloween, he found he was too old to take part in the holiday of going door to door for candy, instead he just spent the night laying down on his couch watching horror movies. Tonight was to be no different, but things rarely go as planned, as Joey learned this lesson as he saw an eerie green glow coming from the back of an alleyway.
"Huh? That's odd, I never noticed this before" Joey commented to himself in a whisper.
The otter looked about some curiously wondering if he should check out, but curiosity got the better of him, as he soon found himself walking on down the alley towards the source of the green glow. Reaching the end of the alley, Joey could see an odd looking shop front nestled in the back of the old alley confused as to why it was even there. Taking a good look, Joey could see the front of the shop having a doorway inside the mouth of what looked like a stone skull as the green glow came from two basins on both sides of the doorway, both holding a burning green flame.
"This is either the best place for halloween or it's a red flag to get out of here." Joey commented to himself as he looked around some approaching the door, "Well.... nothing ventured nothing gained right? Besides, what's the worst that can happen?"
With that, Joey grabbed the handle and opened the door and walked on inside. Looking around, he could see the shop was darkly lit, illuminated only by candles burning with the same green flame like the ones outside. Cobwebs were strewn all about the ceiling, giving the otter some chills not liking spiders at all, but pressed on as he looked at the various items throughout the little store, not noticing a shadowy figure creeping up behind him.
"Welcome dear sir, to my little shop." A suave smooth voice called out.
Joey quickly turned around and looked at the figure as he walked into the candlelight, revealing himself to be a tall weasel with dark grey fur.
"My name is Facilier, and I am a humble seller of goods the likes of which you have never seen." The weasel replied.
"Well, like what?" was all Joey could ask as he looked up at the man.
Grabbing a box and opening it, Facilier revealed a set of for sack cloth dolls barren of any identifying traits of any kind.
"Voodoo dolls, and not the kind that you see in the back of them comic books, I'm talking about the real deal son, these truly work. If you have enemies, you can set them straight and remind them of their place with these." Facilier explained closing the box shut afterwards.
Putting the box away, he then grabbed another item, a round golden looking amulet with a blood red gem, as runic markings were etched into the gold surrounding the gem.
"This little trinket is quite something, it gives its wearer magic power, great magic power, it can make even the weakest of weaklings become a force to be reckoned with." The weasel explained, "Imagine what it could do for someone like yourself." The wesel continued trying to sell the item to the otter.
Joey just leaned against a wall as he held out a paw, just as the weasel was about to place the amulet in his hand, a bright blue flame erupted from the palm of the otters hand.
"I already have magic, that little amulet doesn't impress me." Joey replied with a grin.
"I see, I didn't know you had magic as well, looks can be deceiving, can they not?" Facilier asked putting the amulet away.
"That they can be, so you will have to try harder if you want to sell me something." Joey simply replied not buying into any of this.
The weasel gave a toothy grin as he walked over to some dusty old curtains and pulled them back to reveal something quite odd. Walking up Joey could see a glass case, inside though, was a single diaper, completely black in color save for green markings covering it, but what really grabbed the otters attention, was the front of the diaper. On the front, the markings came together to form what he could only describe as an eerie looking jack-o-lantern like expression.
"This is quite something, you see, it is possessed by an ancient evil spirit, you see, some teens were messing around with a book, and unwittingly unleashed an evil from its pages. They couldn't get rid of it, so they tricked it into taking possession of this diaper, in an attempt to get rid of it. They tried burning it, cutting it, shredding it, and more, but none of it worked, the diaper was unscathed, I can't say for sure what happened to them but one of them came came in looking distressed and gave it to me, and here it lies, forever imprisoned in this glass case." The weasel explained.
"Okay, you really expect me to believe that? Really? They trap a demon inside of a diaper? Do you have any idea how ridiculous that sounds?" Joey asked not believing a word of it.
"Dear boy, what I find unbelievable, is an otter being able to wield magic, surely this should be of no surprise to yourself." The weasel replied to Joey's statement.
"Fair point... Still it's far fetched to me." Joey replied as he turned around and walked away from the diaper, that was now lacking any of its markings.
Joey made his way to the door and began to walk out as the weasel stopped him.
"Surely you aren't gonna leave without buying something." He asked.
"That's the idea, look it's a nice store and all, but I really don't need any of this and that little diaper story makes me think this is all made up." Joey simply answered as he walked on out the door.
Facilier looked over at the glass case and grinned, "He will be back, they always come back."
Outside the store, Joey saw that it was getting dark, as the alley was almost pitch black, save for the lights from the green flames behind him. Hurrying on out, he found the streetlights were already switched on, as the sun had long since set.
"How long was in that place?" Joey asked himself as he checked the time on his phone "Nine o'clock!? I'm going to miss The Evil Dead marathon on tv!" Joey exclaimed.
Joey began running on down the sidewalk as fast as he could trying to race back home in time feeling something odd, as he began tugging on his pants some as he ran. After five minutes though, Joey had to stop as it felt like his pants were growing smaller and tighter, as he heard the fabric beginning to tear.
"WHAT IS GOING ON!?" Joey exclaimed in shock as he watched as his pants shredded up.
Rather than falling to the ground, the shreds were pulled into his diaper. Joey, tried his best to pull the shreds of fabric out, but they got swallowed up as he now saw that the diaper he had seen in the store was now around him, his underwear somehow converted into a diaper with the same markings that the diaper at the store had. After the the diaper had swallowed up the remains of his shorts, the diaper began to grow in size and expand out becoming bulkier and crinklier than before.
"What the!? The diaper really is possessed by evil!?" Joey asked himself looking around trying to cover up to hide the diaper.
Joey looked around and grabbed a newspaper page laying in the street to cover himself up with blushing brightly hoping no one saw him in the diaper. With no other choice, he ran on back to the alley where the shop was to get Facilier to fix this. Upon returning to the alley though, Joey soon found that the green glow from the torches was now gone, confused, the otter walked on down to see why. Reaching the end, Joey stood there dropping the newspaper to the ground as his jaw fell open as he stood there staring at just a normal brick wall of an old apartment building. The shop was suddenly gone with no explanation as to why, leaving the otter stuck outside in just the shirt and diaper he was wearing.
"This can not be happening, why does every magic shop I go into disappear afterwards!?" Joey asked himself in frustration.
Joey looked at the diaper as it seemed to smirk at him as if to add insult to injury. Not wanting to put up with this any longer, he began to pull and tug on the tapes of the diaper before looking in disbelief as the tapes seemed to vanish, as the diaper was now seamless.
"So that's how you want to play? Fine then I'll just do this!" Joey yelled at the diaper.
Joey pulled on the diaper attempting to pull it down like he would for his underwear or pull ups but the more he pulled and tugged down on the diaper, the more he could feel the diaper tighten up around his waist, forcing him to give up.
"Gah stop! I get it, you don't want to be pulled down" Joey exclaimed at the diaper as he felt it loosen up on him.
Grumbling to himself Joey grabbed the newspaper, covering himself up again and resumed his walk back home. The walk home wasn't too bad, since many of the townsfolk were off for trick or treating events, the otter could make it back to his house as long as he kept to the less busy streets, hoping that his street wouldn't be too active. It had only been fifteen minutes, but to Joey, it might as well of been an eternity, of hurrying home before he was caught outside in the diaper, but he finally came up to the fence of his backyard.
"Finally, I can't believe i made it, I'm not even going to question how, I'm just glad to of made it back." Joey commented himself as he climbed over the fence.
Walking up to the back door, Joey grabbed a fake rock from a flower bed nearby and pulled out a spare key to unlock the door. Entering inside Joey closed the door behind him as he began wondering how he would get the diaper off of him before hearing the newspaper rustle and his shirt tighten up as it was being pulled on down by the diaper.
"No! Not my shirt, this is my favorite!" Joey exclaimed trying to save his shirt.
It was in vain though, as the shirt shredded up and was pulled inside of the diaper along with the newspaper, with no logical reason, both were absorbed into the diaper just as his pants had been absorbed as well, causing the diaper to again grow in size and in power. Without any chance to react, the otter found himself walking to the front door of his house, his legs betraying him as he could no longer stop himself as he reached for the locks and opened the front door as he could only see crowds of trick or treaters, as he began walking outside in front of everyone.
"No.....anything but this........not this....please no, not this!" Joey pleaded to the diaper to no avail.
Slowly the diaper made him walk on out grabbing a duffel bag next to the door. The otter could only watch as he held the bag open as he crinkled out in only, the now oversized diaper, as he walked up the front door of a house as he could hear hear giggles and laughs of kids and teens outside for trick or treating, as he could only wonder where everyone came from, the street was empty only a few minutes ago wasn't it? Joey was given no time to think on the question as he suddenly rang the doorbell as he looked up at a tall female wolf as the only words to come out of his mouth was.
"Trick or treat!" Joey called out.
Joey just stared at the wolf nervously unable stop himself at all as the wolf just blinked some seeing the otter standing there in just a diaper, though it was if in just a blink of an eye, the wolf's face beamed in delight as the diaper glowed an evil greenish hue.
"Oh my what a little cutie you are!" She exclaimed in joy dropping a handful of candy in his bag.
Joey had no idea what was going on, to him he was a grown otter in just a diaper, but to the wolf and now everyone around him, he appeared as a small otter pup going trick or treating. While the otter might of enjoyed being given a chance to trick or treat again, this time was different, as he was being controlled by the diaper for unknown reasons. Once the wolf gave his head a playful gentle pat, he soon found himself walking on along again to continue going door to door to trick or treat.
It didn't end there though, in fact it was only the beginning, after filling his bag with candy, the otter was soon walking back home as Joey could only wonder what more this diaper had in store knowing whatever it was wouldn't be good for him. Once back inside his home, he sat the bag on top of the kitchen table, and suddenly saw himself pull the diaper open, but he knew that it was not to remove this cursed thing, he soon watched as handful after handful, the diaper made him stuff candy inside of the diaper, only to be absorbed inside causing the diaper to expand and grow swelling up around him.
"What are you doing!? Stop! I'll go back to the store and buy everything, I swear!" Joey pleaded furiously.
The diaper ignored his pleas and and continued to fill itself with more candy, with each handful, the diaper grew more in size, and quickly began to engulf his legs, soon his waist was swallowed on up till only his arms and head were left. Panic set in as his heart began to race as he saw what was happening and knew what the diaper was trying to do.
"Please stop, don't do this, I don't want to be swallowed up, I'll do anythign you want, but please don't do this!" Joey cried out on deaf ears.
He soon grabbed the whole bag and stuffed it inside of the diaper, almost instantly it was absorbed and the diaper grew once more swallowing the otter up fully trapping him inside of the diaper as he struggled to escape not wanting to be swallowed up as well, Joey cried out for help as he suddenly fell to the floor.
"HELP ME!" Joey screamed as he looked around confused in a cold sweat
With a quick glance, the otter found himself sitting in his living room having fallen out of the couch while tangled up in the blankets he covered up with. The room was dimly lit with the bluish glow of the television. There was the sound of thunder over head, as he could see flashes of lightning outside.
"Was it all.....just a nightmare?" Joey asked himself as he calmed down
Looking at the tv, Joey saw the music video thriller playing, as everything seemed normal. He tossed the blankets off of him and found he was back in his underwear and thankfully dry after that horrible nightmare.
"Maybe I need to lay off the horror movies, that was too real for me. I just need some cartoons, that always helped me when i was younger." Joey commented as he climbed back on the couch.
Feeling calm that it was just a dream, Joey laid back down to watch some cartoons to get his mind off of the nightmare, as he looked through the tv guide, there was a flash of lightning outside behind him, as the evil diaper from his nightmares was clinging to the window behind the couch as the laugh of Vincent Price echoed through out the living room, as the music video on the television came to a close.
The End.......Or Is It?
