Did an early morning (2:30am) medicine run last night at a 24 hour chemist. No snotty nosed kids coughing all over you at that hour. Getting into the shop itself was like getting into a 1920s speakeasy, complete with door buzzer and security guard. The only thing missing was the sliding peep hole.
As I pulled up for fuel, on the way home, I noticed a dishevelled youngish man sitting on his backpack in the shadows. Sure enough, when I went to pay at the securely locked counter, he made his move and bit me up for $10.
As I drove home I had melodramatic flashbacks of a Vin Diesel movie I'd once seen. A sci-fi about a barren planet that turned deadly when night descended.
Ps maybe not so sci-fi anymore.
