Party Favors by Kris P. Kreme<\/p><\/div>\n

Reader’s Choice Month is ready to party!<\/p>\n

Everyone in the office knows they can count on Eleanor to do all the thankless favors. She’s hardworking, deceptively smart, and puts up with anything.<\/p>\n

Inflating a bunch of balloons purely by her own lung power for a party prep one evening, Eleanor discovers the dangers of party favors… and the risks of becoming one.<\/p>\n

Eleanor is a highly professional and deceptively intelligent young woman, who would be having most of the men in her office working beneath her if not for the somewhat sexist practices in this corporate office.<\/p>\n

She’s used to it though, to the idiots she has to put up with, to the stupid tasks they always pass onto her just to keep her busy. Eleanor has always had a very strong drive to advance and sexism or none she will endure, even if she has to bite her tongue more than a few times a day.<\/p>\n

Around the office, Eleanor is called Frumpy, and she knows the nickname has nothing to do with her looks. She’s always been attractive, staying in shape, but she assumes it really all boils down to having the name, Eleanor, an admittedly old style name for a modern unsophisticated office environment.<\/p>\n

The latest chore it seems for Eleanor to waste her own time doing is getting things prepped for some office party, a party she apparently isn’t even invited to and has no idea about what it is celebrating. She is used to these tasks handed down to her, these office girl favors the executives just expect from her.<\/p>\n

What Eleanor isn’t used to is just where this particular party favor will lead her.<\/p>\n

Assuming she was supposed to do the basic party prep, some streamers, some plates, getting things in the company break room ready, Eleanor assumed they would have some sort of tank there to inflate all the balloons. No such luck it would seem and so Eleanor is left with little choice but to spend much longer than she expected blowing up the balloons one at a time.<\/p>\n

Nearly instantly the rubber of the balloons and the constant huffing and puffing to blow up balloon after colorful balloon is giving Eleanor a headache. The headache grows as she slowly inflates every last balloon, finding that with each balloon blown up she’s feeling a little more dazed, a little more out of it, and a little more easily frustrated.<\/p>\n

When the buttons begin popping as the balloons grow bigger, Eleanor realizes too late that something is making her inflate just as much as the balloons she presses to her lips, and in the end she might just find that the most popular party favor at this surprise party… is her.<\/p>\n

It’s time to party like it’s Readers Choice Month, because it is and this party don’t stop till the IQ drops as the brainy office girl becomes the best bimbo in the building.<\/p>\n
