Thoughts on my Trip to the Corner Market

  • The proprietor (indeed, the owner of the place was manning the counter tonight) seemed rather standoffish for me being the only customer in the store.  Was I interrupting something?  Sorry for buying things from you, sir.
  • I got startled by a noise I accidentally made with my mouth.  I am startled very easily.  I actually jumped a bit.
  • It was amazing out.  I barely needed a jacket, there was a beautiful half moon, and many stars were visible.
  • The soundtrack of outside is the braking of trains, far off.  It’s a bit like something out of War of the Worlds, but oddly soothing.
