Chapter 1
Aikawa is a tall black fur bull with a red shirt and jeans. He was working like normal at his job. He’s worked at for years. When he got called into his boss. Aikawa takes a seat and sits across from his boss who sighs.
“Hey, look ill get straight to the point. we have had a major decrease in sales lately and we are now losing money.”
Aikawa looked confused
“Am I not doing a good enough job?”
He shakes his head.
“No no! You are doing a wonderful job! But that’s the problem you have done such a good job you are being paid quite a bit. And we can’t afford it, unfortunately. So we are going to have to let you go”
His eyes get big
“Wait, you can’t do that. I need this job! Come on please I will lose my house…I just bought a car and I won’t be able to pay anything.”
He nods
“I understand but we have thought about this long and hard. I’m sorry Aikawa but you’re fired.”
He started to get angry, jumping out of his seat and knocking it over.
“You know what?! Like I care! Screw you and screw this place I worked hard at this place for years and this is how you treat me! No, I’m not fired! Because I quit!”
Aikawa leaves the room and slams the door and tears up heading to his office to clear out his thing he quickly grabs what he wants and storms out trying not to cry. For a big strong bull, he was pretty emotional. He put his stuff in his car and got in the driver’s seat and put his head on the steering wheel crying some.
“What am I going to do…? I’m lucky my bills are paid this month along with my car but what about next month…if I don’t find a new job quick ill be moving back in with mom…no ill live on the streets before I get that desperate.”
He laid there a while before Finally starting his car
“I just need to get home and clear my head”
He begins to drive home with the radio playing some music he loves to take his mind off things even though all he wanted to do was cry. He was able to stop himself from crying. What good is crying going to do, If anything it will only make a situation worse? He thought to himself. He Finally makes it to his home, pulling his car into his drive then shutting off the car then getting out. He locked the doors and accidentally locked his keys in his car. His eyes get big.
“DAMN IT!”
He groans and looks into the car
“Today’s just not my day…”
He wanted to go back and cry but he didn’t want to be seen either so he holds it in fighting it.
“I’ll just go inside and play some games with friends on my computer. That helps me take my mind off stuff ill call a lock pick later.”
He heads to his door then remembers he also locked his door key in the car. He kicks his door so hard from anger he accidentally kicks a small hole in the bottom. Now he was just angry, luckily for Aik, he keeps a spare key hidden under a rock in his yard. He goes out and grabs it, he heads to his door and unlocks it. He gets inside, shuts his door and throws his shoes off, and sits at his computer desk.
“keep calm… Just relax Aik…if not you will have to pay for more shit you can’t afford.”
He breathed in and out deeply hoping to calm down. But it got a bit too much for him and he silently started to cry when one of his friends called him on discord. He quickly rubs his eyes and takes a few more deep breaths to calm himself. Before grabbing his headset and joining the call.
“Hello?”
He said.
“it’s about time you answer. I thought you were ignoring me or something.”
His friend said joking around with a laugh.
“Nah just had to take a long piss. But you know I had work today why would you even call? I might have still been at work.”
He lied and laughed. It was kinda a forced laugh, His friend kept laughing as well.
“Good point, I forgot oh well don’t matter I just got excited and had to show you, dude. I sent you a link to this cool new website! You answer a few questions then boom you’re sent money directly to a special bank! It’s so easy, I have only done a few once in a while you get some strange questions but you should check it out!”
Aik sat there thinking that sounds like a wonderful way to make money. And he wouldn’t have to leave his house. But it was odd how convenient it was.
“hmm ya, I’ll check it out. Thanks, dude. Now-”
He was interrupted
“wait hang on a second”
His friend muted himself for a while. But it gave Aik time to think and check out this website.
‘Www.surveybab.com 93’ he clicks the link and it goes to a nice-looking website easy to navigate too. He wondered what was up with the name though.
“Survey bab? Must mean something like… Uhh, big amazing bounties?”
He laughed at other things it could be that did cheer him up quite a bit. His friend was still muted, So he decided to sign up for this; he just had to make a username and password and fill out a bunch of other information. He makes his username Aikawa. Surprisingly it’s not taken. Awsome he thought. He also noticed a small stuffed animal on the side of the screen but thought nothing of it. Next was a password but he had a program on his computer that would make random passwords and save it so all he had to do was remember one master password to his other passwords. He gets a random password and hits next.
Next was a bunch of questions to start reading them out loud. Still seeing the bear on this page.
“How old are you”
Aik Types in 22
“Do you live alone or with someone?”
He types in alone
“Do you have any other source of income?”
He goes to write yes but stops. He then puts in use to. He keeps going through a lot of others then gets to the last few.
“If you start a survey you must be willing to finish it, doing so could result in being kicked off. Whoa, but I guess I could understand that. I wouldn’t want to do that.”
He agrees to it then reaches the last question. And it says one thing.
“Do you like toys? The heck? Uhh… Sure?”
He puts yes and hits finish. Finally, he gets to a screen with a bunch of recommended surveys to start with. He looked kinda confused as to what to start with. He also had a money counter at the top that had 1.00$ on it.
“It must give you a dollar for signing up and I bet my friend got something because I clicked his link.”
Again he noticed that bear on the screen it was like it was watching him. But then he remembered and checked the discord and his friend messaged him.
“Sorry man, I gotta go my lady’s mad because I won’t get off the computer. Catch you later man, peace.”
Aik sighs he was kinda relieved he didn’t want to talk he kinda just wanted to spend time alone but he wasn’t going to ignore his friend. But this did give him time to answer surveys. It was 5 pm and he didn’t have to work so he could do surveys till he passed out. So he does, he starts his journey down survey rabbit holes. Some would be like 50 to 100 questions. It was very boring but it was kinda engaging like the questions were specifically made for him. Once in a great while, he would get some strange questions.
“Do you or anyone you know buy toys for themselves or yourself?”
He checked no and continued answering them. Another strange question appeared in the next survey.
“If you had the chance, would you buy some toys and play with them? We have seen an increase in adults enjoying toys.”
He wasn’t sure but he marked yes, I mean he’s an adult but hey playing with some toys could be fun he guesses. He was having fun answering questions at this point and he’d already made 50$. It wasn’t much but hey it was easy money but it was 1 am and Aikawa had to head to bed. But it was like something was telling him he needed to buy something. He got to the store on the same site and found most things cheaper than normal shops. This was nice then he noticed a bear, the same one that’s been looking at him on every page of the question. He was almost enthralled; he couldn’t stop thinking about it. But he didn’t find it that odd.
He sighed and shrugs
“Why the hell not. It’s… Kinda cute. Maybe I can give it to my friend’s kid. Or just sit it on a shelf.”
He clicks on it and pays for it. It was pretty cheap at 5$ with next-day delivery.
“Wow, even next day shipping? That’s amazing, this site is incredible. Can’t wait to come back and do more stuff it was kinda compelling. It’s almost like a full-time job on its own.”
He chuckled some but he needed sleep. He undresses down to his boxers and lays down in bed. Unaware of what might happen in the coming days. He falls asleep and dreams of doing surveys in his sleep.
