The store was quiet the only noise came from the store radio. The song (singing in the rain) fit perfectly with the weather right now. Outside cars parked, people walking in and out of the convenient store or restaurant to grab something to eat. Rain still falling but now more lightly. The store's glass windows and door gave the perfect view of the outside, rain still falling. Still none came in I'm leaning against the counter in between the computers and the registers. Black chalkboards to the left and right of me decorated in thanksgiving. My coworker goes to stand in front of the store leaning on the tall table at the left corner.
A few steps behind her was a poster of the latest phones we had. The rain and wind picked up as the sun also make a rare appearance, turning the falling rain into snowflakes covering the parking lot plaza. The radio's song now turns into a r&b song shifting the mood to a calming one within the store. Tables holding displays of our phones and underneath cases that go along with it.
The sun makes another appearance this time a little stronger and the rain going lighter. It soon looks like dust of silver covering everything. Focusing on everything else a few cars are left in the plaza coming and leaving,and the only noise that seems to remain is the store's radio. A gust of wind blows through the small plaza, I'm still leaning against the counter trying to find a way to burn time. It feels as though time has stopped, my coworker also moving around to see what she can down to make time speed up. Here we are waiting for someone to come in and once again its all quiet with the only sound coming from the radio.
