    Just an ordinary store, what could go wrong?

    Remember, YOU are the narrator, give him whatever fate you choose

    ... As I drive to the address, I glance at my phone repeatedly to check ratings of the store, but surprisingly there's barely anything up about the place.

    Brian (to himself): "Alright, here we go...I'm the new Manager of the store, surely its gonna be fine"

    After what seemed like an eternity, I arrive the parking lot entrance, but the police car exiting catches my attention, and I immediately get concern.

    Brian: (to himself): "Oh god no, what could've happened here?"

    I pull over, stopping my car at a dubious parking spot which seems like its gonna sink at any moment.

    No doubt it is a safe environment

    As I get off the car, I notice three individuals standing by the entrance porch of the store; a middle age woman, a young boy and a senior, all wearing matching uniforms reflecting the colors of the store

    Middle age woman: "Geez..."

    Young boy: "So...what do we do now?"

    Senior man: "We just work, that's all we do, someone will arrive sooner or later."

    As I approach them, I notice their badges, now getting to know their names; Brenda, the middle age woman, stock supervisor; Luan, the young boy, intern; Clarke, the senior man, assistant manager store.

    Brenda ** (looking at Brian): "And who might you be?" She asks as Luan and Clarke watch with skepiticism

    Brian: "I'm the new manager" I say with enthusiasm

    I await for a response as an uncomfortable silence settles in the atmosphere
