&lt;p&gt;What better way to celebrate Halloween than at a pirate-themed party on an island that was rumored to be haunted?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;That was the theory. Claire’s problems began when she went to pick out a costume.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The guys had it easy. There were lots of pirate costumes available. They could get anything from a historic pirate outfit to a Captain Jack Sparrow costume.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;There were a lot of pirate costumes available for girls, too but they were all “sexy pirate”. “Captain Hooker” was more like it.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Undercover</title><link>/stories/1/01/01/undercover/</link><pubDate>Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/stories/1/01/01/undercover/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;Erosboutique &amp;amp; Grometsplaza Latex story competition 2004&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The things I do for the company. I was in the lady&amp;rsquo;s room, standing
on a toilet in order to get close to a heat vent. In the men&amp;rsquo;s room Cliff,
our VP, was working out the details for skimming company profits. Catching
him was going to be tricky. As far as I could tell, he hadn&amp;rsquo;t done anything
yet. There would be a narrow window of opportunity between when he actually
did something and when he fled. If I had enough details I could arrange
for his arrest then. If he actually managed to get away with the money
the company would be out of business in a week.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
