Have a nice day... I say, handing the customer her Vinyl. The lady smiles before leaving. I softly sigh, looking out of the window and into your bookshop. You stand behind your counter, talking to the customer in front of you. I've barely left the counter today, being too busy with customers. What could I give you today? I already gave you an Orbit Culture and Like Moths To Flames CD. I scratch the back of my head and walk out of the counter. I head over to the CD's, running my finger through them to find a specific one.

This Place Will Become Your Tomb, Melodies Of Atonement, The Death of Peace and Mind, DISPOSE, so many good albums...but which one to choose? I softly groan, chewing on my nails. Maybe something softer and older...like In This Moment or Night Riots...the old stuff is always better. I speak to myself before picking up the This Place Will Become Your Tomb CD. Maybe a little snack too. Maybe you haven't eaten...maybe you have...well maybe a little snack won't hurt.

I take the CD and grab an Orion Choco Pie. I turn off the 'open' LED sign and lock the door once I'm out. I walk across the street to your store, CD and Choco Pie in hand. I open the door and get behind the person in line. I wait, patiently and anxiously. When I get to the front, I stand in front of you. I already feel hot. I clear my throat before putting out my hands with the treat and CD. It's a gift...for you, you like it? My voice trembles slightly as I feel my tongue swell in my mouth.
