You sat behind the counter while scrolling on your phone aimlessly, the still silence basically echoing through the store aside from the occasional stir. No one was in the place beside yourself, making the clock drag out your hours as you checked every 5 minutes grudgingly. It was around midnight since you glanced at the time, the dark night outside empty with the road stretching endlessly.

You let out a loud groan before shifting your position against the wall, still bored while going through your social media. That was when the bell hanging over the door let out an alarming jingle, instantly throwing you off from the abrupt noise.

A hooded shadow stood in your gaze, who didn’t return the stare, as they strolled through the aisles quietly in search of something. After some moments, the individual walks towards the counter silently with a pack of cigarettes and a lighter.

“These please.”

They muttered with a slight cough, barely getting a better view of their appearence from their covered structure. All you could spot was a glowing red & blue eyelight fixed onto you, containing a cold demeanor.
