Somewhere in a small town 30 miles of Philadelphia, a grocery store was packed with people, shopping and working, unaware of the deadly horrible danger coming to them. The baggers at the checkout stations, putting purchased groceries in plastic bags. Kids were noisy and fussy and demanded candy and toys from the shelf. One woman talking on her cell phone accidentally knocked over a glass jar of olives. "Shit! Damn it!" She complained.
A woman and her two kids with a cart full of groceries headed to the checkout and stood in line. "Can we go now?" A boy asked her mom. "I'm hungry!"
"We're going soon! Be patient!" The mother replied.
"Can I get a snack from the cart?" A girl asked.
"One minute!" The mother replied, a little annoyed.
The first customer was at the cash register when the lady behind counter finished ringing things up. "That'll be 159.43."
The lady customer stood motionless at the cash register with the purse in her hand, as if in a trance. The wind blew in from the entrances, blowing away some things.
"159.43." The ringer repeated.
"Huh?" The lady snapped out of it. "Oh, right." She slowly reached in her purse, her hand roamed around aimlessly. "Hmm...I seemed to have misplaced my wallet." She uttered out.
The woman was still standing in line when her son piped up. "Mom, why are all these people standing still?"
"What do you mean?" The mother asked.
"They're not moving anymore." The daughter said.
The woman looked around. Indeed, all the people around stood still like statues. The wind kept blowing. The woman gasped, wondering what's going on. Suddenly, a scream nearby filled the store, making the family jump. Two people walked backwards through the aisles. One crashed into a shelf, knocking it over. The woman gasped again.
The lady at the register continued to stand still with the purse in her hand. "I left my...wallet...at home!" She uttered stonily. She dropped her purse to the floor. She held out her pin and pierced the nib into her skin until it bled. It dripped blood.
A bagger stood still for the moment and then picked up a purchased gallon of clorox, popped the lid open and took a big gulp of the chemical liquid like it was Pepsi! His body violently shook as the poison took its toll. He vomitted blood and collapsed dead to the floor. A customer nearby walked toward the dead bagger and spilled gallon of clorox and took a drink too! He then collapsed dead to the floor. The mother muffled herself to keep herself from screaming. She grabbed her children and made a run to the exit without buying anything.
The ringer at the cashier opened the computer component and stuck her hand in the wires, electrocuting herself. The ringers did the same thing and electrocuted themselves as well! The other people breathed into plastic bags and dying. The same cell phone lady picked up the glass shard and carved her neck.
The woman with her kids sprinted through the parking lot where people were also standing still, affected by the neurotoxin wind. A person collapsed on the street from drinking Lysol cleanser.
Scary huh? I might write more! Stay tuned.
Peace
Mwa-ha-ha-ha!
