    Casper, a slightly chubby but attractive 25-year-old, decided to visit a local costume store in search of a Halloween costume. As he entered, he was greeted by the peculiar owner, a sinister-looking man with an unsettling smile.

    The owner showed Casper a unique rubber suit, claiming it to be the last one of its kind. Intrigued by its uniqueness, Casper decided to try it on, unknowingly stepping into a nightmare.

    As soon as Casper slipped into the rubber suit, he felt an unusual sensation. His mind became foggy and his movements robotic. He was no longer Casper, but a faceless rubber drone.

    The owner, satisfied with his creation, turned his attention to Casper's friends who had accompanied him. One by one, they too were transformed into mindless drones, their individuality stripped away.

    The boys, horrified at what they had become, began to mutilate themselves in a desperate attempt to regain their humanity. But the more they struggled, the more mindless they became.

    The costume store had turned into a factory of horror, churning out rubber drones devoid of any emotion or free will. Their screams of despair echoed through the silent store.

    Casper, despite his mindless state, felt a flicker of consciousness. He fought against the numbness, clawing at the thick rubber that encased him. But his efforts only furthered his transformation.

    The boys' resistance weakened as the mindless drones overpowered their human will. The rubber suit clung to them, molding their bodies and minds into faceless entities.

    The owner's laughter echoed through the store as he reveled in their despair. His collection was nearly complete, and he was eager to add more to his assembly of drones.

    Casper, now completely consumed by the rubber suit, had lost all semblance of humanity. He stood motionless, his eyes void of emotion, a perfect drone amongst the others.

    His friends too, had succumbed to their fate. They stood alongside Casper, their identities lost, their faces hidden behind the impenetrable rubber. The once jovial group was now a collection of faceless drones.

    The owner, satisfied with his creations, locked the store, leaving the drones inside. The lights dimmed, casting long shadows that danced around the motionless figures.
