welcome to the trolley aisle

i wake up in the toiletries aisle.

first, i see the familiar supermarket lights on the ceiling and almost freak out.

then, i check the time and actually freak out.

i start to yell about how much my life sucks and how i will have to face the wrath of my teacher who is on her period all the time and how i'm so flipping hungry that i might explode or faint or both.

and then that's when i see the exit.

a spark of hope lights inside of me, around my heart area.

my way out. i slap my head. so stupid.
i'll just stroll out the door like a normal human being who hasn't just spent the night sleeping on a marble floor and forget this ever happened.

i nod. "yea. . .yea, yea!" i cheer myself on. "you got dis, annie!"

i step on the black rug, hearing superhero music in my head as i wait for the doors to open.

wait what?

my mind starts to panic.

why won't the doors open?

i place my hands in between the doors and start to pull on one end.

it doesn't budge at all.

i check the time again.

eight in the morning. the store should be open right now! what is going on?

suddenly, i hear giggling from somewhere behind me. i look around the store, sweat growing on my head and hands.

what was that?

cue the horror movie music.

i pick up a christmas wrapping roll and hold it up like a baseball bat, ready to strike.

"if you want to eat me, i swear i'm not tasty," i call. "my friends say i taste like raw beef, which is bad for you."

another giggle. and this time...from above me?

i look up and find a cat hanging off a light by its tail.

okay, okay. wait a moment. this is literally impossible, like, how did it get there and can cats even giggle?

it opens its feline mouth, showing its feline teeth, appearing to be yawning. then, it gives me a grin.

yes, it's mouth stretches to the side and forms a grin like a human being. i swear i'm about to black out again.

have i gone crazy? but then, would i be aware i was? i'm getting dizzy.

"hello, annie!" a voice from the cat says. my mouth drops open in shock.

a talking cat??

"the name's sam, and i'm not a cat," it says, smirking.

but it definitely looks like one...

"don't judge a book by its cover~"

wait, i'm not saying these, am i?

"nope!"

"A MIND READING CAT?"

few seconds of silence.

it sighs.
