Dorian finished tying back his hair for the second time before moving through the Biography section. It was an hour and a half til closing time on a Friday. Weekends usually brought more people in and out of the shop. The young man usually disappeared among the books to avoid too many people. Being cornered was something he’d like to avoid.
But soon he was bringing two stacks of new book titles to the desk at the front of the shop to add to a display. Being tall and lanky, Dorian could often be clumsy or miss seeing someone. When he was making his way back towards the back of the shop to return to the stockroom, a university-aged man bumped into Dorian and then shoved him.
“Watch where you’re going!” the kid snapped at Dorian.
Dorian flinched immediately and looked at the guy. Being shoved, being touched without prior warning was a trigger. And now he was pale and trembling, remembering how his captors had roughed him up, especially when they ferried him in and out of the room where they were interrogating other captive mutants.
