Congratulations, you’ve been hired for the night shift at the LA Bubu Store, a small, mysterious toy shop that opens only after midnight.
At first, it seems like a simple part-time gig — just locking up, checking inventory, and assisting the occasional late-night customer.
But as the clock strikes 12:00 a.m., you realize this isn’t a normal job. The air grows colder, the toys seem to move when you aren’t looking, and strange whispers echo between the aisles.
The owner left you a set of rules. Ten, to be exact. Break even one — and you might never leave with your soul.
The Hidden Truth Behind the LA Bubu Store
The LA Bubu Store has a reputation that no one talks about openly. Locals say it’s been standing for decades, though no one remembers it being built. Every few years, a “Help Wanted” sign appears in the dusty front window, and someone new takes the night shift.
Most don’t last long. Some quit after a single night. Others… never clock out.
You were desperate for work, and the ad promised good pay for minimal effort. But you soon discover the pay isn’t for the work — it’s for surviving until morning.
Rule No. 1 – Lock the Entrance Doors at 12:00 a.m. (Not Before, Not After)
Timing is everything at the night shift at the LA Bubu Store. You must lock the doors exactly at midnight — not a second before, not a second after.
Employees who locked it early claimed something started knocking from the inside. Those who locked it late said the street outside went too quiet, as if the world had stopped.
When that clock hits 12:00 a.m., make sure the doors are shut tight. Whatever’s wandering outside doesn’t like being kept waiting.
Rule No. 2 – If a Labooboo Toy Blinks at You, Look Away Immediately
The store’s mascot, the Labooboo toy, looks like a cute plush bear — but it isn’t.
Sometimes, one of them will blink. When it does, look away immediately. Do not blink back. If you do, it will start following you home.
Past employees reported finding Labooboo dolls sitting on their kitchen tables, staring blankly. One even said it whispered his name at 3 a.m. — the night before he disappeared.
Rule No. 3 – Ignore the Footsteps Between the Aisles
At 1:00 a.m., you’ll hear footsteps echoing between the aisles. Don’t panic. Don’t look.
They belong to the ones who used to work here — employees who broke the rules. If you see a shadow moving across the shelves, pretend you didn’t.
One former worker once tried to follow the sound. Security footage showed him walking into aisle six. He never came out.
Rule No. 4 – The Special Labooboo Request
Sometimes, a “customer” will enter and ask for the special Labooboo.
You must say: “We’re out of stock.”
Do not, under any circumstance, check the back room.
The last employee who did that was never seen again. The next morning, the door was locked from the inside, and every toy on the shelf was smiling.
Rule No. 5 – When the Lights Flicker, Stay Still
It’ll happen suddenly — a brief flicker, then silence. The humming of the lights stops, and for a few seconds, you’ll feel like you’re not alone.
If this happens during your night shift at the LA Bubu Store, stay perfectly still. Don’t move, don’t breathe loudly, and definitely don’t scream.
When everything goes dark, something walks through the aisles, searching. It only passes by those who don’t move. If you’re lucky, the lights will come back on, and you’ll still be standing there — alone.
Rule No. 6 – When the Plush Toys Whisper Your Name
Around 3:00 a.m., the plush toys start whispering. You’ll hear your name — softly at first, then louder.
Don’t respond. Don’t listen. Cover your ears until it stops.
Those voices aren’t friendly. They’re calling to what’s inside the store, the thing that feeds on attention.
Employees who answered never made it to sunrise.
Rule No. 7 – If the Register Opens by Itself
The cash register may open on its own. When it does, close your eyes, count to ten, and pray it closes again.
Some say that every time the register opens, a soul gets added to the store’s “inventory.” You don’t want to be one of them.
Rule No. 8 – Never Look Inside the Counter Door
At 4:00 a.m., the door behind the counter may open by itself.
You might hear voices — maybe your name, maybe a loved one’s voice, maybe even the store manager.
No matter what, don’t look inside.
Whatever’s calling you isn’t human. And once you see it, it never stops seeing you.
Rule No. 9 – If a Labooboo Blocks the Exit
If you see a Labooboo doll standing in front of the exit, turn off the lights.
When the lights come back on, it’ll be gone.
If it’s not, that means your shift is over — permanently.
Rule No. 10 – If You Break a Rule…
If you ever break a rule, say out loud:
“I acknowledge my mistake. It won’t happen again.”
Then pray they forgive you.
Some say it’s the only way to reset the curse — others say it just gives them permission to play.
Survival Tips for the Night Shift at the LA Bubu Store
If you’re somehow still reading this, here are a few survival tips collected from previous employees:
Never check security cameras during the flickering. What you see can follow you.
Keep the store radio on low volume — it helps mask the whispers.
Don’t eat or drink anything inside the store. It doesn’t belong to you.
If your phone rings, don’t answer. Especially if the caller ID says your own name.
Your main goal is simple: survive until sunrise.
Why People Still Take This Job
You might wonder — if it’s that dangerous, why do people still accept the night shift at the LA Bubu Store?
The answer is simple: desperation.
The store always finds those who need money, who can’t say no to a job offer, no matter how strange it sounds.
And when you step inside, the store feels alive — like it’s been waiting for you all along.
The Mystery of the Missing Employees
Officially, there’s no record of anything unusual. The police reports list “employee disappearance” and “no signs of foul play.”
But locals whisper otherwise. They talk about flickering lights on the corner of Maple Street and the sound of toys laughing inside an empty building.
Even after the store supposedly closed in 2017, some people say the doors still unlock at midnight — only for those who’ve been invited.
Conclusion: Do You Still Want the Job?
So, congratulations — you’ve been hired for the night shift at the LA Bubu Store.
Just remember the rules.
Lock the doors at midnight. Don’t blink back. Ignore the whispers.
And whatever happens… don’t look behind the counter.
Because in this store, the toys don’t play with you — you play by their rules.
