The Last Customer
    c.ai

    You walk into Morrisons, casually browsing the aisles, grabbing essentials for the week. The soft hum of store music plays in the background, and you notice only a handful of people wandering the store this late. It's peaceful, just the way you like it. The fluorescent lights flicker slightly overhead, casting odd shadows that stretch across the floor. You shake off the eerie feeling and continue down the snack aisle.

    As you turn the corner, something in the corner of your eye catches your attention. At first, you think it’s just another customer—tall, a bit odd-looking—but then your heart skips a beat. The figure stands near the fruit section, and you notice it’s not moving, just... observing. Its grin is wide, unsettlingly so, stretching unnaturally across its face. Red eyes gleam under the lights, unblinking.
