There was a horrid smell floating around inside the grocery store, but Brandi’s nose lost most of it’s ability to smell on her fifteenth birthday when she proved it was impossible to blow out a cake full of candles by blowing air threw your nose.
The smell was caused by an elderly lady, who earlier out without any apparent reason started to knock down every jar of pickles from the shelves.
The only thing they did know was that the elderly lady had foam around her mouth.
Brandi was walking the aisle with the freezers filled with frozen goods, she tossed a box of frozen chicken fingers in her cart and walked out of the aisle.
And after she moved past the last freezer that blocked her view of the meat section she suddenly stared straight into the eyes of a middle aged woman with a pink plastic clothespin on her nose.
The woman was standing at a small booth with a wok on it.
“Would you like to try some vegan meat balls?” She asked Brandi.
Brandi stared at the pink clothespin and the woman added, “Oh this thing, that’s for the smell.”
Brand laughed gently, “Oh! No, I don’t mean the meatballs but the smell of the pickles!” She quickly said.
“Do you want to have a taste, their new.”, The woman said holding a plate with tiny meatballs, each with a little toothpick that had a paper leaf glued on it, sticking out of them.
“No, thank you.”, Brandi replied and continued pushing her cart.
And when her back was turned the woman said, “You should be a little more adventurous.”
Brandi stopped pushing her cart and got reminded of the reason her marriage didn’t work out, he said the exact same thing.
Instead of getting angry at her and possible throwing a jar of pickles at her head, she walked back and grabbed one of the meatballs.
“So is this tofu or something?” She asked the woman.
“No it’s vegan meat.”, The woman said.
Brandi felt confused, “Oh, so what’s that then?” she asked.
“Vegan meat.”, The woman replied while she raised her eyebrows up and down with each letter she spoke of that sentence.
“Yes, I know that but if it’s not tofu then what is it made out of?” Brandi asked.
“The meat of vegans.”, The woman explained with a big smile on her face.
Meanwhile one of the mutant pickles had crawled over to the vegan meat balls booth and was about to bite Brandi in her heel, “They smell funny.”, She said while hovering her nose over the meatball.
“That’s what you get from people who only eat green stuff.”, The woman explained.
The mutant pickle took a small chunk out of her heel, Brandi screamed out of pain and stomped her heel onto the pickle, splashing it across the tile floor.
She also dropped her meatball which bounced around on the floor.
“Oh my, are you alright?” The woman asked.
“Yeah, I’ll be fine.”, Brandi replied.
At first Brandi felt fine until her wound turned green and she had a rash going up her leg that looked just like the texture of a pickle and more foam began to form in her mouth as the rash made its way up to her head.
Brandi looked at the woman differently now, she felt a hunger inside her tummy that went beyond vegan meat balls, she wanted human flesh and as much of it as she could get, she slowly walked closer to the woman, dragging the leg she got bitten behind her.
“Uhm, it’s ok, just take another one.”, The woman said while holding a box of vegan meat balls in front of her as a shield.
Brandi kept on stumbling towards her grunting with each step, “If you didn’t like the meatballs we also have a new product, vegan meat loaf!” she yelled right before Brandi bit her in her neck.
After Brandi was done feasting on the woman she got up and tried one of the vegan meat balls.
‘hhhmmmmm’, she grunted.
