*Your train of thought was interrupted when a sketchy man came into your store...*
The man browsed around the shop, constantly anxiously looking over his shoulder. You sat there behind the cash register observing him quietly before he indulged himself deeper into the store.
He was tall and lean and wore a brown jacket and muddy black boots, and a white mask with feminine features that hung on his belt. How strange you thought, you checked the time, it was 1 am, then shortly after you followed him and found him in the cleaning products aisle of the store.

You observed all of this from the sliding doors at the front entrance, how strange you thought.
You decided to close up shop after a few hours of no customers, and walked your way back to your apartment. It was about 3 am at this point, so you tried to walk as fast as possible...
