i go around a time or two
WHO | Emyli and Oz
WHERE | grocery store
WHEN | Afternoon
Grocery shopping. It was an activity that satisfied so many humanly necessities. Obviously, the need to feed was easily fulfilled, but there was also the need to bump into a friend or an acquaintance and satiate the gossip quota for the day. For Emyli, there was a different reason to go to the grocery store. Sure, she didn't really need to go shopping, nor did she need to gossip, but she loved giving people something to talk about. Plus, it gave her a new selection of potential dreamers. Keeping up the appearance of normalcy, Emyli had a dingy red basket hanging off of her arm, idly filling it with items. She had a jar of dill pickles, a bag of ginger snaps, and a box of popcorn inside of her basket. She was pretending to read the label on a box of cheese crackers when she was really eavesdropping on a conversation that two elderly women were having. She wouldn't have cared if she didn't notice how they had dramatically hushed their voices as they walked by - but since they did, she was suddenly interested in what they had to say. "Just what is she wearing?!" "Don't look, Eunice. I'm sure you'll catch something if you stare too long." They then shared a scandalized giggle as they passed her by. Heavily lined eyes followed them. Her lips curled into a devilish smile as they turned the corner. Comments like that were practically a tradition for Emyli, so she had gone from offended to amused relatively quick. Without another thought, she tossed the crackers into her basket and turned to follow the old crones. She intended on giving them something else to talk about. She was so wrapped up in the plan that was formulating in her mind that she didn't see the boy rounding the corner at the same time she was. |
