Chris usually had lunch brought to him. He usually didn't leave the office during the workday unless travel was required for some reason. But today was different. Chris had an errand in mind, a ridiculously impulsive errand, yes, but it was one that he wanted to do himself. He could imagine his mother's rebuke if she knew of his behavior. 'Darling', she would say, 'You have people to do those kinds of things for you.' But his mother was also the kind of person who wouldn't stop to pick up a hundred dollar bill off the ground because it wouldn't be worth her time. Chris liked, upon occasion, to do things that were off schedule. It made him feel more alive.
His errand had brought him to one of the massive, sprawling indoor shopping complexes that the city had to offer. He really wasn't sure where to start his search, so he paused just inside the entrance, looking about. Stores lined every wall for about six stories up. He hoped he wouldn't have to walk past every one to find what he needed, he didn't have that long of a lunch. For the moment he stood there, looking a little bit lost, looking at each store sign in turn trying to get a clue. He needed to find a pet store.
