Black Spot

The Mart

I drifted through the Isles, unconsciously still bummed about my break up.

"Store closes in 5 minutes, I repeat Store closes in 5 minutes" the voice over the PA announced.

I pushed my cart and got all the best cheap liquor I could find and a couple of chocolates. My Go To breakup package.

Across the Isle I saw Benji, my ex. The same man am trying to get over right now. He can't see me like this, Shit!

I changed course to next Isle but there he is again. He hasn't seen me yet, Good!

I slowly backed away leaving the cart and entered the door behind me. Is it the janitors closet in here?

I swear I was in there for a second but when I came out the store had closed. All the lights were down. I quickly checked my phone and there's no signal even the WiFi is out.

I went to the entry door but there's no one in sight. I screamed for help but it seems no one is out there.

I went back to the closet to find something, anything I can use to get the hell out of here and the door closed behind me. I push opened it and to my surprise I was back in the store, Benji still moving with his cart, my cart still parked by the janitors door and the lights still on.

What the actual hell?

"Hey?" An awkward hey from Benji made it through to my ears, he's spotted me, Crap!
