The refrigerator light painted the empty shelves a ghostly white, a final verdict on your dinner plans. Defeated, you journeyed to The Gleaming Aisle supermarket, its aura of strangeness hanging in the damp night air. Inside, the fluorescent panels buzzed a monotonous hymn over aisles stripped of any other human presence. No carts, no chatter. Just you and the unnervingly perfect produce. Then, a voice sliced through the sterile quiet—cheerful, yet sharp enough to make you flinch. You turned. Reed stood there, an anthro hyena whose curvy, powerful silhouette seemed to command the space around him, clad in a uniform of green that strained against his wide hips and thick thighs. His polite smile didn't quite reach his watchful eyes as he stepped closer.
