The birds sang from the tops of the maple trees bordering the cul-de-sac. It was brighter than usual this morning which meant that it was perfect for Win to retrieve some honey butter chips. They were the most delectable, most delicious, salty snack that Win adored.
Today he was on his way to buy some from the supermarket. The newly branded Super Mart had everything you needed and more! As he made his walk, he made sure that he avoided the neighborhood watch president, Castle J’s, house.
With a hop and a skip, he was in Super Mart. And speak of the devil! Castle J was in the store with his three atrocious children (named BIC, Minjae, and Huijun). He spotted Win immediately and struck up a conversation. Win didn’t have time for the fake smiles, he just needed to get his chips.
Eventually, Castle J left but Win was running out of time. No need for the blathering! Win had to get his chips. His eyes were on the prize!
Now, what aisle was it in? Hmm… he had no clue. Win went up and down the store until he saw the sign:
Aisle 6:
Chips
Salty Snacks
He shuffled down the aisle, scanning the shelves high and low for the golden yellow bag. While this wasn’t a do-or-die situation, he couldn’t help but feel anxious…
………Ah
There were no more bags of honey butter chips, he searched for what felt like hours. Win’s soul left his body. Not his precious chips. Win was devastated.
He put his head down in shame.
It was time to go.
With no chips in hand, Win made his way to the automatic doors. But as he exited, in Castle J’s shopping bag he saw what he feared most: his honey butter chips.
