Since hunting animals here was essentially forbidden, Anna now had to debase herself to the menial task that was grocery shopping. Unfortunately, she was completely illiterate and couldn’t read a single thing on any of the packaging. For the most part it was easy to pick things based on the colorful pictures on the front, but over 3/4ths of the food in the store were things she’d never seen in her life.
She was puzzling over a bag with strange little flat, yellow ovals on them. There were about a hundred bags of them taking up significant shelf space; some of them were crinkly looking, and others were slightly different colors -- those bags also had other images on them, like wedges of cheese, and what seemed to be onions. Strange. Even the villages back home didn’t have such bizarre food; this must be some strange, futuristic, calorie packing substance.
Anna dropped it inside her grocery basket which was already mostly full of various cuts of meat. She marched around the corner and found herself accosted by yet another aisle full of peculiar food. This time she held a small box that had a picture of a bowl full of some puffy white things. What on earth... Her ears tuned in to a familiar set of footsteps; someone she knew was cautiously rounding the same corner she had just moments ago.
Good, a familiar face.
“Locker boy,” Anna marched up to him without preamble, “what is this food?”
