S-some shops s-s-sell things y-yike ant-tiques or o-old t-toys. Y-you can f-f-find just ab-bout anything a-at so-some shop o-or another.

B-but some s-s-shops sell th-things that c-ca-cant be f-found just anywhere. M-mysterious items th-that nobody knows ab-b-bout. T-t-today were g-g-going to v-visit one s-such shop. L-lets t-ta-take a look.

A shop with guards at the door. Have you ever seen one like that? What could the possibly sell that requires guarding the door? Why don’t we take a look at what people are shopping for here?

Trey is looking at a large key. What could this key unlock? Where would you even find a door big enough to fit it? I’ve never seen one.

Trey: What does this key unlock?

Cashier: Nobody knows. But whatever it is, someone wanted it kept secret. Otherwise, we would know more about it.

Trey: Hmm…very interesting.

That is interesting, Trey. I’m not too certain I would want to see what’s behind the door that key unlocks. Let’s continue our little field trip, shall we?

Frogheart: This xylophone is is pretty cool!

Cashier: I wouldn’t touch that. Word is the thing’s cursed.

Frogheart: C-cursed?

Cashier: That’s what I’ve heard. The guy who sold it to me couldn’t wait to get rid of it. He says whoever touches it will get cursed. He put it there when I bought it from him and I haven’t touched it since.

Frogheart backs away from the xylophone. I can’t blame him either. I wouldn’t take that chance either. A cursed xylophone, that’s spooky! I spook easy too. So, I definitely want to stay away from anything that could be cursed!! I think maybe we should skip the rest of the shop. What’s that? You want to keep going? If we must, but I still think we should leave. No? Oh well, just thought I’d try again. Let’s keep going.

Dog Dog: How much for this bangle?

Cashier: It’s about $300. But I would really reconsider. This bangle is known to bring bad luck to everyone who’s ever worn it.

Zeb Zeb: I think you should listen to the cashier, Dog Dog.

Dog Dog: I’m not too concerned about a little bad luck. Besides, I won’t be wearing it all the time. Just for special occasions.

Zeb Zeb: Are you sure about this? Is it really worth taking the chance? You don’t exactly have the best luck in the first place.

Cashier: I would listen to your friend, pal.

Dog Dog: It’ll be fine. Stop worrying so much.

Dog Dog pays for the bangle and he and Zeb Zeb leave. I’m not too sure he should have bought that. I wouldn’t want something the could bring me bad luck. But Dog Dog seems to think that nothing will happen. I hope he’s right.

Wait a minute. I think I hear something. Do you hear it too? It’s coming from outside. Let’s take a look. This place is giving me the creeps anyways.

Now let’s investigate that sound. I don’t see anything around the store. Maybe? Is that? What is that? In the distance, above the store. Look there!

Is that a ghost? And a…giant owl? Wearing a witch’s hat? What the heck is going on here? Just what kind of shop is this? I’m getting out of here. This place is really creeping me out.

Th-this shop s-s-sells some p-pwetty cweepy th-things. And y-yet it s-s-seems that they c-ca-can still s-sell their w-w-wares. I h-hope things will w-w-work out for D-d-dog Dog. And j-j-just wh-what was up w-wif the g-g-ghost and the o-owl? Th-they were p-p-pwetty cweepy. Its n-no wonder our n-na-nawwator wanted to w-weave as s-soon as p-possible! Y-you know, I d-d-didnt know th-that some s-shops were s-so spooky. M-maybe because I t-twy to keep a n-n-nice non s-spooky s-shop myself! I w-wonder what the n-ne-next shop we v-v-visit will b-be yike?

A busy store. Lots of customers buying various foods and snacks. Cashiers ringing up the customers as part of their job. It’s a regular part of life, shopping. Whether you’re picking up a quick meal after work or buying groceries for the week, you need a good shop with a large selection of goodies. This shop is very much like that. There’s plenty of food, both fresh and packaged, to choose from. They also carry a good selection of candy and even some toys. Sounds like a nice place to shop, right? Let’s get another look, shall we?

Zebra: Oh dear, oh dear. I forgot my shopping list. However shall I remember what I needed? There’s so much to choose from, I might just buy a little of everything! Hmm…what’s in this case here? Feta cheese? Sure, I think I’ll take that!

Zebra grabs herself a tub of feta cheese and continues to peruse the shelves.

Little Bunny cashier: Hello, I hope you found everything alright today.

Dog Dog: Hello! Yes, I found everything just fine though. I had considered getting that crazy Pez dispenser. But I decided not to because I’m trying to eat less candy.

Little Bunny cashier: Oh that would be a hard choice for me to make; I love candy!

Dog Dog continues to make small talk with the cashier. Which is common practice when you go out to the shops. You do your shopping and when it’s time to check out, we chat it up with the cashier. We all hope for a friendly one, don’t we?

Lionheart cashier: That’ll be $14.87.

Striker: That’s a little more than I was hoping to spend today, but I just couldn’t pass up this rice! I do enjoy rice a lot!

We’ve all done that, right? Gone to the store for something and leave with more than you planned to by? Surely it’s not just me? Hmm? Anyone? Ehm…let’s just get back to the shop now.

Striker checks his wallet, only to realize he’s forgotten to take money from the atm.

Striker: Oh dear. I forgot to stop by the atm today. Do you take cards?

Lionheart cashier: We certainly do! There’s a card reader to your right. Please go right ahead!

Striker lets out a sigh of relief. He was worried that he might have to put his stuff back and come back later. He swipes his card and collects his bag of groceries. He notices another customer heading out as he goes to do the same.

Striker: Do you need any help with your bags? It seems you’ve got a lot to carry.

Frogheart: Oh thank you, but I’m ok. I’m parked right outside here, just in front of the shop.

Frogheart lifts his bags, though he does seem to struggle a bit. Striker decides he doesn’t want to bother the fellow.

Striker: Ok, you have a nice day then!

Frogheart: Thank you, the same to you!

Have you ever stopped to talk to another customer? It can be a friendly interaction. But it can also lead to some awkwardness. That’s why I prefer to just keep to myself when I’m out to the shops. Anyways, back to the shop.

The day carries on, with customers going in an out of the shop. Workers replenish the shelves as the customers make their purchases. Cashiers ringing up everyone and sending them on their way. Just an normal day at the shop.

But, at night, things seem very different in this shop.

img_5148

The shop is dark. No lights anywhere. What’s more, there are carts and baskets just laying about everywhere. The strangest thing is that the shelves are bare. What happened to all of the product that the workers were putting onto the shelves. Surely there’s no chance everything in the store was purchased. It’s simply all gone. Except for a single bag of frozen french fries. But…it’s not in the freezer case. It’s just sitting on a shelf.

W-whats going o-on in this s-s-shop? What h-happened to a-all the p-p-products? Why i-is ev-evwything a m-m-mess n-now? Nob-body knows. B-but this s-shop is j-j-just one of m-many that ge-gets visited each a-and evwy-evwyday. Who knows w-what kinds of w-weird things ha-happen in other s-s-shops.
