Down town on a Friday afternoon; gridlock traffic; sidewalks filled with the sights and sounds of people on there way too and from somewhere. It was two weeks before Christmas and all the shopping malls and retail outlets were swarming with people.
Michelle, a college student, driving for almost 45 minutes finally finds a parking spot. She gets out of her car throwing her purse up over her shoulder and arming her car alarm. She makes her way into the main entrance which is nearly impassible due to the mass droves of people crowding the entrance.
"Everyone's in a freakin' hurry to go nowhere." Michelle thought to her self as she fought her way through the crowd.
She strolled down the main corridor glancing right and left trying to decide where to start first. She sat on a bench by the fountains in the mall court yard and looked at her PDA.
She scrolled through her list and then decided to go to go to a department store and pick out some clothes for herself, and then continue on shopping for the others on her list.
After an hour Michelle found a restroom and quickly slipped into the stall. She opened her purse and pulled out her last disposable diaper.
"While I'm here I might as well pick up another pack." She thought to herself while sliding down her jeans. She unfastened the tapes on her wet diaper and then rolled and taped it; tossing it to the floor. She then wiped herself with a travel pack of wipes and then proceeded to diaper herself.
After getting situated she quickly exited the stall, tossing the diaper in the trash and washing her hands. She looked around nervously to see if anyone had paid her any attention while disposing of her diaper. She took her purse and her shopping bag and left. She stopped on the corner by the elevator. The lines were long. Upstairs were the rest of the stores she was heading to. She diverted her path and went to the food court and had a hot chocolate. After all it was December and very cold out. Then she went to the drug store and picked up a package of adult diapers. She always hated this part. She was always afraid of being seen by someone she knew from school.
After making her purchase she stuffed them in the bottom of her big shopping bag and hid them by putting her smaller items over top so as to block anyone from peering down into her shopping bag. She then went to the elevators waiting in line.
As she boarded the elevator she tossed her empty hot chocolate cup into the trash by the elevator. She was aboard the elevator with 4 other people. She had been glad she waited until now. She never liked elevators anyway, and especially crowded ones.
