At the entrance of the inflation park, Derek, Mark, Violet, Mary and Sam gaped at the spectacle in front of them. Hundreds of people bounced about, their bodies transformed into inflated fruit jellies. The sight was equally fascinating and alarming.

Derek turned towards Mark, his eyes wide with disbelief. "Mark, aren't you forgetting something?" he asked, his voice muffled by the chaotic buzz around them. Mark looked at him, puzzled.

Suddenly, a man not far from them took a bite of a fruit jelly. Within seconds, he swelled up like a balloon, his body bloating uncontrollably. The crowd gasped in horror as he was lifted into the air and floated away.

A woman, presumably the zookeeper, quickly approached the bloated man. With a swift move, she grabbed a rope and tied it around him before adding him to an empty spot amongst others in one of the park's attractions.

Someone in the crowd, possibly a relative, pleaded with the zookeeper. "Please, let him go!" she cried. But the zookeeper was adamant. "Rules are rules," she said, showing no sympathy.

A feeling of unease started to creep amongst Derek, Mark, Violet, Mary and Sam. Deciding they'd seen enough, they made a move to exit the park. But then, a loud, ominous voice came over the speakers.

"THERE IS NO ESCAPE," the voice proclaimed, causing the group's hearts to beat faster. They looked around, their panic growing as the gates they'd entered through closed shut.

"What do we do now?" Sam asked, his voice barely above a whisper. Just as he finished his sentence, a nearby woman drank a jelly shake. Within moments, she too, transformed into a floating mass.

Despite the chaos, they decided to try and find another exit. They ran hand-in-hand, their frightened eyes scanning the park for any signs of hope. Suddenly, something terrible happened.

The speaker came back to life, its voice even more menacing than before. "THE JELLY SHAKES HAVE BEEN SERVED," it announced. To their horror, they realized that they each had a shake in their hand.

As if in cue, their bodies started bloating up, the shakes causing each one of them to begin inflating like the others in the park. Panicked screams filled the air as they realized there was no turning back.

Their attempts to run were futile as they helplessly watched their own transformations. They were now a part of the zookeeper's bizarre inflation collection. The zookeeper, spotting them, waddled over with a mischievous grin.

"Well, well, look what we've got here," she said, sounding ridiculously cheerful. "A few new additions to my delightful collection!" Her voice was high-pitched as if she was talking to a newborn.

Despite their situation, the five friends couldn't help but feel a pinch of humiliation at her words. She treated them like infants, patting their inflated bodies and cooing at them in a baby language.

They were attached to ropes and dragged towards the collection. Their pleas for help were drowned out by the zookeeper's incessant baby talk and the park's atmosphere of fear and uncertainty.

"Oh, don't you all look adorable!" she squealed, poking Derek's inflated body. The others watched helplessly as she continued her torment.

"I think I shall call you... Jelly-belly," she giggled, moving on to Mark. She pinched his bloated belly, laughing at her own joke.

Even in their dire situation, they felt a wave of embarrassment wash over them as they were reduced to insignificant playthings in this weird amusement park.

With Violet, she was even more playful. She bounced her up and down, Violet's ballooned body helplessly bobbing in the air. "Bouncy bouncy!" she squealed, laughing hysterically.

Mary was next, and the zookeeper seemed even more excited. "Oh my, aren't you a big one!" she exclaimed, patting Mary's inflated body with glee.

Every second of their torment seemed like an eternity. The zookeeper, relentless in her actions, moved on to Sam. "Last but not least," she cooed, ogling Sam's bloated body.

By the time the zookeeper was done with her humiliation, all five of them were lined up together, their inflated bodies bobbing in mid-air. She laughed heartily, patting her hands in glee.

"Look at my beautiful collection," she exclaimed, her eyes gleaming with sadistic delight. Being reduced to floating characters in a twisted amusement park was not how they'd envisioned their day to go.

The zookeeper, satisfied with her new additions, finally left to attend to other visitors. The friends were left alone, bobbing in the air, their hopes of escape seeming more unattainable than ever.

As they floated helplessly, they couldn't help but feel a sense of despair. The once exciting visit had turned into a nightmare. The inflation park, they realized, was not an amusement park, but a trap.

The once cheerful laughter of visitors now sounded more like terrified screams. The crowd's fascination with the inflated fruit jellies turned into a shared fear for their own safety.

All that remained now was a grim sense of reality. They were trapped in this inflation park with no escape. Their hopes of freedom slowly faded, and all they could do now was wait for the unknown.
