in #story-300words6 years ago

 

With one wheel long gone incorrect, she careens into the checkout line. an ideal shopper, she prides herself on crusing the circulars, clipping coupons, shopping for in bulk. Her basket is overflowing with catnip and kitty muddle, Pull-u.s.and pomegranates—plenty of all. She takes a magazine out of the rack; there is a niche to scratch, an offer she can't face up to—"got an itch you cannot perceive, do not know what you want, let this be your second." The background image is of a beautiful house with the whole lot just as you'll need it to be—untouched with the aid of reality. She scratches; her finger is quick lined with gold powder and under this is some thing a bit sticky—tugging at her. it's miles as even though she is being pulled into the mag. A surprising burst of mild, an explosion of inspiration, a fleeting illumination, and she is inside the photo and it's far clear—that is her residence, this is who she is, the lifestyles she is supposed to stay. 

it's far extraordinary—she's seeing no longer most effective the future however the pathway there—and it's a brand new sort of ground tile—you just placed one foot in front of the other, don't stop, and watch in which you're going. and then, as even though in a faraway dream, she hears the scanner beeping, she hears the checker say, "Are you taking that mag?" Drawing a deep breath, she pulls herself back into the checkout line. She takes each replica of the magazine out of the rack. "i will take all you've got," she says. 

"Paper or plastic?"
