<Lothli & Maishul>

Chapter 2: Mountain Dew® Code Red®

Heya! Welcome back to Maishul & Lothli, the only show where we keep it real by exploring different realities! I'm your host, Maishul! Let's get into it!

Once upon a time, in the far, far future, there was a girl named Lothli. She lived in a town where strange things happened every night. For example, her favorite Barbie doll got flushed down the toilet.

Anyways, Lothli looked into the refrigerator to make some fried rice. Unfortunately, there was no rice in the fridge, but instead there was an entire human head.

"Oh my goodness, there is an entire human head in the fridge. This is frightening," Lothli screamed in terror.

Lothli then closed the fridge and ignored the problem like how she ignored her chores. She decided that to fix this mess, she should go to the store to buy rice. How else could she make lunch?

And so the girl set off into the night, the stars above shining with evil intent. They plotted ways to ruin Lothli's day, like maybe untying her shoelace or putting her toilet paper in the holder backward.

Fortunately, our unsuspecting heroine managed to reach the local supermarket without any trouble, since the stars were too busy plotting. The signboard was usually yellow and said "SUPERMARKET", but today, it was red and said "SUBPARMARKET." This was a clear sign that the building was haunted, but Lothli, either due to cowardice or to ignorance, entered the store anyways.

Once inside, our intrepid protagonist immediately noticed the state of disrepair the store was in. The lights were off, and there were mysterious puddles of fluid on the floor. Most shockingly of all, the shopping baskets were unstocked.

"I suppose the employees must be on break," Lothli mused to herself. "There's no other reason the shopping baskets shouldn't be stocked."

Shrugging her shoulders, our reluctant heroine continued on her journey to the grains aisle. However, she was blocked by a massive stack of Mountain Dew® Code Red®, the most frightening soft drink.

The sudden appearance of the devilish soda was too much for our unlikely protagonist. Her mind was flooded with horrifying images. Her parents, drowning in Mountain Dew® Code Red®. Her life's work, dissolved in Mountain Dew® Code Red®. That one time her sister said she actually LIKED Mountain Dew® Code Red®.

The mental distress was too much to bear. Our beleaguered heroine collapsed to her knees.

"Not the... Mountain Dew® Code Red®..." she whimpered.

The sickening red fluid coalesced into the shape of a gigantic, writhing bag of rice.

"Muahaha! Now you will NEVER obtain the rice you crave!" the Mountain Dew® Code Red® cackled.

That's right, the fried rice... Lothli's feeble mind recalled what she was fighting for.

With a mighty roar, our brave protagonist broke free of the mental restraints cast onto her by the Mountain Dew® Code Red®. Thoroughly shaken by this encounter, Lothli continued on her trepidatious journey.

Finally, after what seemed like an eternity, our intrepid heroine had made it to the grains aisle. However, the greatest obstacle of all still stood between her and her rice.

Its eyes glowed red as it cried hyper-realistic blood. Its clothes were ragged and torn, with the souls of those it had already devoured screaming against the fabric. Its nametag read, "Hi! I'm Bob."

"The store is now closed. Please exit the store premises," the monster roared.

Lothli made a face that looked like this: D:

But making a strange face was not enough. Her soul was stolen and embedded within the creature's clothes.

The moral of the story? Never try to purchase rice.
