You walk down the aisle in wonder at the sea of greenery.
You pick up an ear of corn off the top of a stack of the same.
You are about to leave when a bright orange tail pokes out of a pile of rhubarb.
What are you going to do?
You slowly approach the rhubarb...
Suddenly a squirrel in an armoured ninja suit leaps out and points a tiny sword at the ear of corn in your shopping basket!
"Give us the corn or else!" says the squirrel, pretending to slit its throat!
What will you do now?
You find a walnut at the back of the shop and hand it to the ninja squirrel.
The squirrel licks it a bit before gobbling it up
Suddenly the shop owner is looming over you and demanding money!
You hear the squirrel sniggering as it makes its exit!
"Long ago," explains the squirrel, "this was a nut aisle.!
"But no one wanted nuts so they turned it into a vegetable aisle."
"And now we are starving!"
You offer this to the ninja squirrel.
You think you should probably help the scary ninja squirrel.
Maybe you could find it some nuts, or possibly help it get back to the wild where it could find lots of nuts.
You hand over the corn shakily.
The squirrel chews it carefully before spitting it out.
"You foul swine!" screams the squirrel, "you gave me rotten corn!"
"Eat paw!"
The squirrel does a tiny power stance before knocking you unconscious!
You follow a winding path into the woods.
Slowly, you and the squirrel shift from the path.

The squirrel scampers up a tree.
You turn to go home but you find you might be lost...
You decide it will be safer to ignore the tail, you didn't want rhubarb anyway.
This is a mistake.
As you walk away from the vegetable aisle, something unseen leaps out and hits you in the head.
As you black out, you see a fluffy tail disappearing back into the rhubarb.
