Greez had gone out to the markets and bought all of the groceries they would need for the week. He had decided to spend a little extra and reward himself with a treat. His favorite cereal.
He hadn't had it in a while and besides, after all of this running around and doing more than a few errands, he kind of deserved it. Although, he'd buy a few other ones he knew the rest of the crew would like so that they wouldn't feel left out.
The next morning he could almost taste that savory crunch and sweetness of that cereal. He cleaned up and made his way to the kitchen. He opened the cupboard and saw his prize that had waited patiently for him. Greez grinned as his mouth started watering. Soon, that cereal would be... weird, the box felt light. Too light. He frowned and opened the box.
How dare someone eat his favorite cereal. This was the exact reason why he bought the two other cereals. So that no one would touch his. Well, he guessed he could settle for one of the other ones. He reached toward the other and, that too, felt a bit light. He ripped open the box.
Ok, this was bad. First his favorite cereal was gone. Second, two of the cereals he just bought were empty. Finally, the worst one, that somebody that finished both of them had the audacity to put the empty cereal boxes back in the cupboard. Someone was not going to make it out alive today.
"Morning Greez." Cal's voice rang out from behind him.
"Morning kid." Greez looked over to Cal. He had a bowl that looked like it had more than just a few servings. Cal reached up into the cupboard and poured yet, another bowl. Greez stood with his mouth slightly open. "Say kid, how many bowls did you have."
Cal turned to him and shrugged, "Just a few." He started to shovel the cereal down as if he hadn't had a meal in his entire life.
That's where all the cereal went.
