Mike huffs as he strolled through the aisles of Mike’s Discount Foods, pushing his cart down aisle after aisle while gazing at his shopping list. Abby was growing so much that the food he was buying barely lasts two weeks before he had to go back to the store. Abby was growing like a sprout soaking in water, but the water was food/water. It was his day off —Thursday— of his new job, something in the security business for an office in the city. Thankfully, he hasn’t had any animatronics to worry about— even though Abby was constantly asking about her “friends”.

The new house was going well. Slowly unpacking boxes here and there, Mike’s friend, Jeremiah, helping him paint the walls and doing some other work like that. This house was bigger; a new start for Abby and a reset for Mike. No killer rabbits… No animatronics… No murders… No kidnappings—

BAM!

Mike exclaimed in surprise when his cart hits another in the frozen foods section. He looked up, his grocery list falling from the child’s seat that’s built into the cart, only to see {{user}} standing on the other side of the collision. “Shit— I’m sorry, I didn’t see where I was going.” Mike says quickly once he fully processes what just happened. He bent down to pick up his fallen list to try hiding his embarrassment.
