Store
624 Words
I took the car to the store. It felt like any other day. My main concern was groceries. Other items were on my list, but they weren't as important. I arrived at the parking lot and parked. I was tired and didn't want to get off.
I took my time, and exited the vehicle. Well, it's time to go shopping. I looked around the parking lot as I walked toward the store. Then I noticed a dark figure in the distance. The figure's description was difficult to understand.
I didn't think much of it at the time. I finally made it to the store's automatic doors. There were two signs on top of the doors that said enter and exit. As I walked in, a few people entered and exited the store. I grabbed a grocery cart from the front of the store entrance.
Then I made my way to the grocery section of the store. Then screams were let out and it sounded as it came from the cashier in front of the store. People scatter and some ran out of the store others ducked down. Customers had begun to hid themselves where ever they could. I was curious as to what happened.
I push my cart and it crashed into a grocery shelf. Then I made my way and saw that it was a person with a black covering over their head. The person had a cashier at gunpoint.
The gun person said, "give me the money."
The cashier said, "please don't shoot me."
The gun person said, "put the money in the bag."
The cashier put the money in the bag.
The gun person ran outside in a getaway vehicle. Outside energy, and the air was cut in multiple places which caused a vibration that reached the store. Red and blue lights followed and five squad cars pulled up. Officers rushed inside the store guns drawn. The gun person is gone shouted a cashier from a distance.
The officers put their guns away. They had begun to ask questions to witnesses. I returned to my grocery cart and grabbed it. I had begun to shop for food. I made my way to the self check out and paid for everything.
In the background, officers were speaking mainly to employees of the store. I did not get involved and went to my car and opened the trunk. Then I put the groceries inside and shut the trunk. I can't believe what just happened. I told myself. My heart raced in a rapid pattern and I had begun to sweat.
I looked at my hands as they vibrated. I saw the veins in my hand begun to pop. If that would have been me at gunpoint what would I have done I spoke to myself. I entered the car and sat at the driver's seat. As I sat there and inhaled and exhaled the air around me.
The temperature in the car was hot so I turn on the car and the air conditioner. The temperature had begun to dropped and I felt calm. Then I turned on the headlights of the car. Next, I put my right hand on the gear shifter it went from park to drive. My miles per hour were five and I was not in a hurry to get home. I looked at the vehicle time it read eleven pm at night. I made a right turn to get on the service road. The service road was empty. The road sign read sixty-five miles per hour. A frequency reached the car and the cars displayed read Maria. I thought to myself why did she call me. I answered the call.
Hello
