Silver Arrowhead
2nd Floor
Dummy’s Slippers
3rd Floor

4th Floor
Heart Attack Bagpack
5th Floor
Poisoness perfume
6th Floor
Final mixing

        Frank and George are on an adventure to explore the haunted supermarket of Joe’s uncle and have made a bet that if they stayed in that supermarket for one night they can take anything from that market.
       Their adventure starts from the first floor “the silver arrowhead”. In this they have to find the arrowhead before something UNWANTED happens. They also have to follow Joe’s instructions to find the top of the super market. They entered the market quite confidently. This may be because they knew that the supermarket was not haunted.

          That floor was filled with sports equipments. Different kinds of baseball bats, hockey sticks, etc. were there. It had many archery equipments also. They went to the archery section. They found that their way to the archery room when suddenly an arrow was shot from one side. They managed to duck it. Then Frank suddenly spotted the silver arrow. Frank took the arrowhead from the case and gave it to George who kept it in his handbag. Then they scurried to the elevator.
        Then they went to the next floor and obviously THE DUMMY’S SLIPPERS. They went to the clothing floor. There were many clothes which the dummies were wearing. Then they saw apparent dummy with her son. The son was wearing tiny slippers in his feet. As Frank reached the foot of the child a whitish powder stuck to his feet, hands and every where on his body. That powder started compressing him. Soon he started to become flat. There was a great fan swinging above them. Frank was not able to move his body. He was being sucked by the fan moving above him. He shouted for help. George heard him and ran to find the switches of the appliances. He found the switches but was confused that which switch he should press. So, he ran back to Frank. Meanwhile, all the dust on powder on the on Frank’s body got blown away by the winds caused by the fan. It got scattered on the all over the floor, walls, etc. Frank and George took the slippers and ran for the elevator. In the elevator they pushed the button for the next floor. George took the slippers from Frank and kept it in his handbag.

      As they proceded for the next floor they heard the voice of Joe. Then suddenly the elevator stopped. He was telling that if they solve his puzzle they will get the “volcanic gas” or they had to stay there, FOREVER ! They did not had time to think. So they agreed to his challenge.
      Joe told them that there was a paper at the corner most part of the elevator. Frank and George took out the paper and studied it. It was a crossword puzzle. Joe told that they had to find the word “GHOST” as many time as they could. Will they find six GHOSTS or not?
       They had got only five minutes to solve the puzzle. After five minutes an alarm rang. They had got six GHOSTS in all. At first Frank and George heard a creepy sound. Then they heard the actual voice of Joe. He asked Frank and George that how many GHOSTS they had got. They replied that they had got six GHOSTS. Joe gave a creepy laugh and then a box appeared before them. They first hesitated to open the box. But after they had open the box a sudden flash of light appeared. It had a glass bottle glowing brightly. It had something written on it. It was hard to see it because of the light emitted from it. The only words that were visible were ” VOLCANIC GAS FROM ST. AUGUSTINE, NORTH AMERICA”. Then suddenly the elevator started working.  They took it and instead of going to the third floor they went to the fourth floor.

       They reached the fourth floor and saw the list that what they had to find. That floor was filled with bags and children toys. They had to find “ THE HEARTATTACK BAGPACK”. Frank saw a beautiful bag, made of red nylon. He was attracted to the red colour because it was his favourite colour.  As he came near the bag his eyes gave a red abnormal gleam, as if his eyes were filled with blood and as if the bagpack was calling him. Frank wore the bag pack. Then he feeled as if the bag was sqeezing him. It grew tighter and tighter till Frank began to moan. Anyone who wears the bagpack led to a severe HEART ATTACK. That is why it was known as THE HEARTATTACK BAG PACK. 
         Frank started to feel dizzy. He moaned and moaned. Then suddenly the bags chains turned into sharp monstrous teeths. One part of the jaw became longer and longer till it came near his head. Frank advised George to use the silver arrowhead to cut through the straps and loosen it. George took out the arrowhead and he cut through the straps.  At once, Frank was relieved from those bonds. But suddenly the straps of the bag started to heal. George took it and kept it in his handbag. They both ran towards the elevator to catch it. But, it was too late. The door had already closed. They had to find a new way to get to the next floor. The searched all the corners of the floor to get a way to reach to the next floor. They were running out of time. Their only way to go to the next floor was to take the stairs. But, Joe had already warned them that they should not take the stairs because according to him the stairs were also haunted, by LIVING DUMMIES! But although it was haunted they had to take the risk to pass the stairs to get out of their. They were very frightened to go through the stairs.

     They soon collected their strength and searched for the stairs. They found it in the dark corner of the floor. Their was no light in their. George asked Frank weather he should take out the volcanic gas or not? Frank liked George ideas and advised him to take out the volcanic gas. But it was not a good idea at all. As soon as they entered the staircase they didn’t saw anything. But what was waiting for them on the stairs. They continued their journey to the next floor. At middle they saw five-ten dummies sitting waiting for them and the volcanic gas so that they could get their hands on it as they were attracted to it. They talked to each other in a mechanical voice as if they were machines. They talked like t-tt-ttt voice.
      Frank and George became too frightened when they saw them. They hid themselves behind the mops which were lying there so that they couldn’t see them. But when they were sitting there they felt a cold hand touching their back. They froze to death. As they turned back they saw a grinning face of a dummy. The dummy laughed mechanically. The dummy snatched the volcanic gas from the handbag and took it to other dummies. They all took it away in a grinning manner. Either they go again to the third floor or they should follow the dummies. They followed the dummies because their was more chance to get the volcanic gas because it was not certain that in the third floor there was more volcanic gas. So they started following the dummies.

      Frank and George took their handbag and started following the dummies. The dummies moved in a very small pace. So they soon caught them. As they took a clear look on their body, they saw their names carved on their wooden suit. Their names were happy (the one which was always grinning), weirdo (the one with his face covered with long hairs), and so on. But they all were grinning in the light from the volcanic gas. They followed the dummies in the dim light of the volcanic gas. As they continued upstairs the dummies stopped beside the wall. Suddenly, the wall seemed that as if it started to burn.
       A secret passage opened which led to the world of living dummies in which whosoever went never returned. I mean NEVER! Frank and George took the risk to go into the world of zombies because they would get double benefited. They would get the volcanic gas and will be able to explore the world of zombies. They went in there a little frightened but quite confidently. As they entered in there something was written in there with a green and sticky material. It was written “WELCOME TO ZOMBIELAND for fellow zombies and not HUMANS”. They went deeper in there. What would they find in their?
       They found that there was the whole battalion of the dummies cheering for the dummies who snatched the volcanic gas from them. At the centre of the hall there was a lady dummy wearing a crown (the queen) who was also clapping.

      They secretly went there. The dummies were heading to a lockup where they kept he bottle of the volcanic gas. They went there and when all the dummies left the chamber, they opened the locker, took the volcanic gas and ran away. But when they were crossing the entrance the green fluid turned into bright red. The main door suddenly started to vanish. They had no time to waste. They rushed to the entrance. But, by their luck they passed the door, with the volcanic gas. Now they went straight to the fifth floor where poisoness perfume was waiting for them.
      They again had to take   the stairs. They reached there in no time. That floor was filled with ladies cosmetics. They reached the perfume section as its name was poisoness perfume. The section was filled with a sweet smell. It was also filled with various types of perfume. Each perfume had a name written at the bottom of the perfume. They had to search for the poisonous perfume. Frank advised George that they should split up, that would make their task mare easy. But that was also as risky as taking if they were going to the devil’s house. They even did not even knew that which mystery they are going to face in that floor. Frank went to the left and George went to the left.
      They started taking out each bottle and seeing their names written on it. It took a lot of time, so finally George soon gave up and told Frank that they should take any bottle of perfume as they only had to take evidence to Joe. So they took one ordinary bottle of perfume and went to the next floor were their last stand was waiting for them, and obviously, the end to their adventure.

      They soon catched up with the elevator. It took no time for them to reach to the next floor. As they reached the last floor they found that there were no lights in there and it was pitch dark. They again took out the volcanic gas and started for the switches. They found it at the end of the room. As they turned on the switches they saw Joe sitting there on a chair. They told him that they had brought everything he asked for. Joe asked them to mix every thing in the heartattack bagpack. They took out everything and kept it inside the heartattack bagpack. As to amazement all the things got mixed in a blink of an eye. Joe got off the stool and told us to hide. He was having a great pain in his chest. They hid themselves behind the chairs. Soon Joe turned into a howling werewolf. He started to drink the mixture. They stared at him in a surprised way.
       But soon it was 1o’clock. They even didn’t told him that they had not brought the poisoness perfume. It was an ordinary perfume and was causing many reactions in the body of the werewolf. He again started to howl. The werewolf was burning from inside. He fell down and was in deep pain. They could see smoke rising from his body. Soon the body of the werewolf burned out and the body of normal Joe was seen. Frank and George rushed to him. He seemed to have been dead. But suddenly he started breathing. He soon regained his senses. He was alive. He asked him that what had happened. Frank and George were surprised to hear that he didn’t remembered anything. He asked Frank and George to take anything from the store as they had won the bet.
