It was a normal day in the 'PetsWorld' superstore. Kevin, the Junior sales clerk, was looking forward to an idle day of answering young children's questions about goldfish and generally trying to look busy to his manager. He was only killing time to pay his way through college after all.
"Excuse me."
Kevin's line of thought was interrupted by a strangely dressed young woman. There was wearing black and then there was wearing black! Indeed there did not appear to be anything on her that was not black in colour - her hair was even jet black.
"Yes madam. How can I help you?"
"My dragon died yesterday. I need a new one."
"Your... dragon?"
"Yes, my dragon. Smoky."
"Well, we have a very good reptile section...."
"I've already been there," the frustrated girl replied. "What I need is a dragon. Doesn't your store slogan say 'for ALL your animal needs'?"
"Well yes, madam, but... let me just call my manager."
The girl smiled evilly.
"Now where do you think you're going?"
