the grocery store

It was a dark night, my best friend and I decided to go to the grocery store because we were missing the most important ingredient to our recipe. This item was very crucial. We ran to the store, which was only a block away from her house. It was a brand new location that had just opened the week before. As we ran into the front door, it was like this place was magical

On the outside it just looked like a small shack, but once you stepped inside it, it became a huge maze, twisting and turning in every direction. We both look at each other, "it shouldn't be too hard to find what we are looking for" she says. I nod in her direction and begin to walk forward. Inside was the very opposite of silence, you could hear everything coming from each direction. As we're walking forward, we end up in the clothing section, nothing out of the ordinary. She notices a sign, pointing to the produce section, we start walking that way. 

After what felt like ages of following the sign, past so many different sections, we finally made it. This section was definitely the largest of them all. We couldn't find what we were looking for if we didn't split up, so that we did. I begin searching every shelf, looking for the one item we needed. We were not about to give up. After about thirty minutes of searching I see my friend run up to me. She shoves something in my face. Could that really be it? I look and she found them. At that moment it felt as if time had stopped

Finally, we found pears. It was almost like heaven came down to us. Finally.
