Lorraine from Target

Rice and Beans

Lorraine snapped back to reality and she slowly blinked her eyes, surveying her surroundings. Everything looked the same, she didn't know why she randomly remembered that memory. Suddenly, Lorraine felt a sharp pain in her side, and when she looked down there was a gaping hole. Of course by then Lorraine started panicking and screeching for help. Blood seeped from the wound, dripping onto the scuffed linoleum. "WHEN THE DONKEY DOODLE DID THIS HAPPEN?!?!" She wailed out, struggling to stay on her feet.
Just then Lorraine saw a familiar face appear at the entrance to aisle 13. It was Snake, the 17 year-old teenager that sometimes worked with Lorraine during her shifts. His real name was Stuart, but he changed his name when he became an emancipated young adult. Snake smacked a piece of gum between his teeth, a pair of headphone blasting The Wiggles soundtrack in his ears. With him was a cart of soup cans waiting to be restocked. Lorraine tried to use her legs to propel herself to grab onto Snake for support. "Snake," she wheezed "help me you little elf King." By then, Lorraine had already lost a bunch of blood, and felt the fabric of life slip through her fingers.
She reached for Snake, but her fingers went straight through his arm. Lorraine was stunned... WHAT THE EVER LIVING @/*% WAS GOING ON?!?!?! Lorraine's eyes started draining and we're looking faded more than usual... She could feel herself slipping from reality... "I'm ready Satan," she conceded "you can take me now." She finished. Lorraine lay on the ground, blood pooling around her torso, body splayed out across the hard ground.

2011
Lorraine had been seeing the mysterious stranger she met for a few weeks now. Who knew that the Crimson crusader and the Target employee would find love? This by far was the best relationship Lorraine had been in since her ex-husband Marty crashed his Volkswagen Beatle into a hotdog stand.
Shabazz popped up at the Target Superstore pretty often, eccentric gifts in tow for her. Once Shebazz gave Lorraine a bird egg he found outside his mother's house. Today, Shabazz had something besides bird eggs on his mind. "Hey Orange Baby, do you think I can get a can of rice and beans?" Shabazz grunted, already having his basket full of the aluminum cylinders. "But you already got some last week. How much are you going to spend on rice and beans, honey sack?" Lorraine giggled, batting her eyelashes. " Nah Smurf Mama, I'm taking these, I ain't paying for these cans o' deliciousness no more ."  Shabazz muttered, eyes dark with mischief. "I'm not going to let you steal all those cans, you know that I could get fired for that, ham hock." Lorraine whined, trying to pout but instead puckering her cracked neon green lips out.
     Shabazz groaned, obviously ticked off that his babyhead wouldn't let him steal the beans and rice cans.   "Well you forget little girl, I'm a thief," he unsheathed his fork from his waist holster " I can take what I want!" He prowled towards Lorraine, prepared to pounce. Lorraine stood stock still, eyes bugging out of her skull, well more than usual. Shabazz leaped at Lorraine, and put her flabby neck skin in a choke hold, effectively disabling her. Lorraine let out a squall but Shabazz put his hand over her mouth before she could shout anymore. His target was the space right above Lorraine's appendix. Then he stabbed her. He stabbed her with his fork 10 times. And that was the end of Lorraine.....
