As I went through the aisles, I grew more suspicious of the customers. Was I the only one concerned with the upcoming monster fight in the parking lot. I walked past mother's shopping and having unrelated hippo conversations with their children. There were teenagers in the candy aisle; debating if Hershey bars were better than Three Musketeers. But I was convinced they like Mars Bars more because they were out of this world if they weren't thinking of ways to avoid those hippos.

Suddenly I heard a scream front of the store "Oh my god!" Rushing to the front of the store I saw a lady with her hands on her head looking out the window, Finally someone that can feel the murderous presence in the presence in the parking lot.

"You see them too, the hippos, right!" I said. Point directly at the two purple beasts bumping heads.

"What? Oh those, yeah, who cares. My trunk is open! I have to check if anyone took my stuff!" The lady said, abandoning her cart and running into ground zero. I reached out to stop her, trying to prevent a casualty. But I was too slow, as she was already out the door. Now I was sure something was off. If everyone could see them, why did no one care?
