+Entity POV+

*brrrrr*

The sound of a single shopping cart is being pushed by an unknown entity.

'How long has it been since I got here...in this strange place? I'm slowly starting to lose count of the days, hours and minutes the longer I stayed... as of now, it's been 22 days and 8 hours in, as for minutes and seconds... I'm not so sure...the time may not be accurate. I never go hungry, I do not require any liquids to function. Never asleep, always awake.'

The entity thought, as they strolled around with their shopping cart, stopping to stock up supplies on an empty shelf.

Grabbing a glass bottle, faintly revealing their reflection. The entity stares at its coal black face for a few seconds and then places the bottle on the shelf as it repeats the process until it fills.

'I do not know who I am or what am I... where am I or who brought me here... how did I get here.. questions and more start to surface the longer I stay here... I should be insane by now but... something or someone is keeping me Sane. Telling me what to do. It's as if my body is at their command and I follow up on their request.' They kept on stacking up the aisle until there was one bottle left, picking it up and placing it where it should be.

Seeing that the shelf was full, the entity moved to their next destination with their shopping cart, leaving the aisle and heading to another, which happened to be a mirror aisle. The figure stopped and looked at its reflection.

The black shadow-like figure had the body of male human,though ridiculously tall. It's height measuring at 14 feet tall due to its abnormally long limbs, their physique leaned towards the skinny side of the scale with ribs evident if it were to remove its attire. No facial features can be found on his head. Their attire consisted of a light blue polo shirt and a pine green apron that had a singular unwritten tag name on their left chest. Ending it with white pants and a pen strapped to his pocket.

(AN: I'm using he/him from now on. His appearance is similar to that of slender man but without the tentacles and the suit.)

With a clipboard held by his long claw like hands, the entity stared at his reflection for who knows how many times he did in the past.

'I often come here to check on my appearance, no changes as far as I can tell. The only thing that I know, is that I was brought here to work and manage the place...'

The entity lifts the clipboard, taking his sight off the mirror and checks what is written on the paper. A list of tasks for him to accomplish, so far two have been ticked in a tick box, the latest ticked task was about stacking an empty shelf. His next task is to organize the products of an aisle, placing each product close to their brands.

*Brrrrr*

The sound of the shopping cart can be heard in this desolate market, on his way there he left the shopping cart in the cart corral since it is no longer needed. The entity walked to his destination, still two more tasks to complete.

' I tried escaping once but the doors won't budge open, I tried every method to break that motion-sensored glass door, but my efforts were futile. I tried to find other escape routes only to know that I was led to even more aisles, the more I walked, the more it led me to even more sections with an abundance of freakish and bizarre items that I cannot recall from the faint memory that I have, I kept on walking for hours and there was no end to it. That confirmed the suspicion that I was trapped... All alone.'

Reaching his destination, spotting a mess of unorganized colors and brands on the aisle's shelves, seeing that it is a chip aisle, he began his work by organizing the shelf to his right and finishing it off from the left.

'So far, I've seen a few that have entered this place from that unbreakable door. Four is what I can tell from memory, their appearances differed, some were strange while some... looked human.. for me to see it as normal tells me that I too was once a human..'

Memory start.

The entity is trying to recall his past visitor's appearances. 'The first Newcomer was a strange fellow... a human who is slightly round in build, the man had a brown beard and was wearing a white polo shirt with a casual jean pants. What was odd about him was that he had an aluminium pan on his head and spoke incoherent blabbering. What was even more odd was that I could understand him? Strange... the man without asking who or what I am, asked for a taco which then I led him to a taco-based aisle using the device that is shaped like a phone and what I think was only used to appraise or find specific item's location as it's current functions.'

'The man picked and was about to consume said taco, hopefully, I was there to stop him. By placing my obsidian hand on his mouth, blocking it and asking him to pay first in which he nodded.'

' we both went to where the cashier was and asked him that he should drop any valuables or currency he had and place them on the counter beside the cashier's tray machine. What he had was a few scraps, a map that led to somewhere and a few silver coins. Eventually, it disappeared and an approval mark was shown on the cashier machine's screen. Enough for a basic taco I assume.'

'The person then left through that door with a taco in his hand. Didn't know what that map was about.. haven't looked through it yet. The other two are the ones that have fled upon seeing me, such unusual appearances that they had. They came a few days later after my first customer, each of them coming at a different time. One of them was.. a flower? Yellow petals, a green stem, and the androecium which I assume it is their face was white and had facial features, it had both eyes and a singular mouth. It came in here smiling, that dropped when it caught sight of me, making it flee. '

'The second was... well, a small pink dog? It was even more scared than the previous visitor. The canine screamed their lungs out upon seeing me, it fled back out afterwards.'

'The fourth and latest of visits was quite interesting. A handsome young man with brown hair and brown eyes, his attire consisted of a white coat with a shirt underneath it and a formal beige khaki pants, he had above average height and was decent in terms of physique for a human. Our first encounter was quite the surprise for him though he was not as shocked as I thought of a regular human to be, perhaps he might have seen stranger things than I? The man had his pen drop, hitting the ground and having a piece paper sticking out of his hand pocket as he fell down on the ground upon seeing me.'

I glanced towards the paper that was slightly sticking out, it had something written on it and I can only see a small part of it.

'Nao? I wonder what that could be..'

I ignored it and went over to lend a hand, surprisingly enough, the human accepted the help and I pulled him upright. Nothing happened for a total of 15 seconds and silence fell upon us, nothing but that subtle sound of the man's watch, the sound of its clockwork.

*tick tick tick*

I broke the quiet atmosphere by welcoming the man, "Welcome to the Market, how may I assist you." My voice was that of an echo, it resembled one of those cosmic entities' voices that I happen to see on a screen somewhere around here. I put a hand on my chest and bowed slightly to show respect. The man observed my actions. Cautious is what I can tell from his eyes scanning my figure.

' " This place, what exactly is it? " no hint of nervousness in his tone. It's as if he is looking down on me with that tone of his. '

' " From what I have experienced, it is an Endless market, is there anything you wish to look for? " I asked, returning from my bowing gesture.

'He stood quiet for a couple of seconds, " What exactly are you? " staring at my void-like featureless face.'

" I, myself do not know, perhaps at a later time I might know of who or what I am. "

' Contemplating the answer that I gave, he then asked " An endless market? If i were to guess, That this place consists of abnormal things and or odd items, and you not knowing who you are, would clarify that you are the only servant or one of the servants that manages this... strange place." The man glanced around the surroundings. '

' that triggered a gentle nod from me ' "You are correct, this place contains bizarre items, from basic things to unordinary ones, and being a servant is also correct, but to whom? I do not know, I just follow what it tells me to do."

" is it possible for me to come back if I were to leave this place? "

"I am not so very sure, the ones that came here have yet to return. I only received a total of four, including you. "

' The man then turned, picking up the dropped pen and stashing it in one of his coat pockets. I just stood there and observed his actions, as he then went towards the entrance and was about to exit, before leaving he looked back at me by turning his head to the side, " I'll look forward to meeting you at a later time." performing a single nod on my part .

Memory end.

*Pssshht*

The sound of the last potato chips wrap being placed as the entity stood upwards, ticking the third task on the clipboard. As he was about to read the last task.

*beep beep*

Coming from the entrance. 'A visitor..I wonder who it might be this time.'

And End of the first chapter:

Now that we have a bit of context of what's going. Someone that was a human before happened to be taken in here to run an Endless supermarket. Exciting no? well not for him of course.

Well it seems we had a few visitors coming and going. The place doesn't attract much as of right now but who knows, the place might be filled with curious customers.

Next chapter would be about the new faces and a POV of one of our recent visitors.

Cya. Oh and please drop any reviews or things you expect from this story. Tell me on how I can improve.
