Game:Pick Up the Phone Booth and Aisle/xyzzy2

"XYZZY!" You yell...

Not only does nothing happen, but anything fails to happen with such spectacular obviousness that you spontaneously combust under the sheer force of embarrassment. Oh, and no hollow voice called you a fool. Idiot!

*** You have died, which I suppose counts as something happening ***

But wait...

You feel a tremendous wrench – the hand of God coming down to wipe clean the temporal chalkboard. The world dissolves, and then quickly floods back into existence, restoring its state as it was before you made your move.

But somehow, things aren't set up exactly the same as last time....

Pick Up the Phone Booth and Aisle/xyzzy2

left

Late Thursday night. You've had a hard day and the last thing you need is this: shopping. Luckily, the place is pretty empty and you're progressing rapidly.

On to the next aisle.

The aisle stretches to the north, and back to the south. The shelves on either side of you block your view of the rest of the supermarket, with only the brightly colored aisle markers visible.

You have stopped your trolley next to the pasta section, bright plastic bags full of pale skin-tone shapes.

There is a brunette woman a few meters ahead, filling her trolley with sauces.

A shiny metal phone booth sits in the center of the aisle.
