100 Little Deaths ➾ [Z.B]

12: Worlds Best Boyfriend(?)

Zak and Aaron walk to the end of the Tombstone Strip and they find the store in question, the sign is a large square with the store name written in comic book font. "Awesome," Aaron whispers then he walks inside and Zak follows from behind. They make it inside and the building is huge, this surprised Zak because from outside the store looked much smaller. That's nice at least, more to look around. "THIS IS SICK!"

After observing, Zak could see many signs hanging from the ceilings and the walls. The signs on the walls were of random iconic comic book characters, and on the ceiling, he noticed a lot of the building was sectioned into three parts. He read three signs: "Books", "Movies", & "Games". He saw books, movies, toys, and games, he saw everything here. The child inside of Aaron is screaming and Zak could hear it. "I guess they have everything here, not just comic books," Zak says looking at his friend, his friend was looking for a specific section.

"Amazing right?! I'm going to find the Star Wars stuff, see you later bro." Aaron is gone faster than lightning, leaving Zak by himself. Wonderful.

With his hands in his pockets, Zak walked around the place looking for something to catch his eye, he knew what movies and shows she likes he just didn't know what she would like from them. Maybe she won't care as long as it involves the movie she likes.

He walks through the movies/tv shows section looking for anything from TV shows he remembers watching with her for years, she has so many favorites it's hard to keep up with all of them but there is one show she will not let him forget. Supernatural. There have to be Supernatural things here, he thought, there's no way there isn't. After some looking around he found a little section with a sign above it saying SUPERNATURAL with black angel wings on both sides. There we go.

Walking over to the section he had a good look around, a lot of merchandise stemmed from Funko Pops of said characters, shirts, stickers, and pins, there was even a stack of the Kansas album "Leftoverture" (whatever that means, Zak thought). Nothing here truly caught his mind, maybe besides the Funko Pops, but one little thing grabbed his attention. On Top of the display is a locked clear box that had a giant leather-covered journal inside, the book had many paper clips and posted notes sticking out, weird..okay, Zak thought to himself.

The box had a piece of paper taped to it and in black marker it says "JOHN'S JOURNAL" with a pricey number next to it, very pricey. That seemed promising, Zak tilted his head to the side. Whatever John's Journal meant, he had no clue, he never paid any mind to the show a day in his life, all he knew of it was three pretty boys driving an Impala and killing monsters. That's all he's caught up on anyways.

For a random object being locked up in a box, it seemed important. Maybe he should ask a worker about it? There's no other way of leaving that box, so he turns and walks to the cash register where the lady there was reading a Marvel Doctor Strange comic. "Excuse me," Zak says when he gets close enough to her.

The lady closes her comic and sets it down on the desk "Yes? What can I help you with, sir?"

"I wanted to ask about the book that is locked in that box in the Supernatural section."

Zak watched as the woman threw a smirk on her face hearing him ask about the book, why is she smirking?! "Of course," she says, she opens the little gate at her desk and lets herself out then closes it from behind her and she walks with him back to the section. "Do you want me to get it out for you?"

"Please, uh..so what is it?"

"Have you watched Supernatural before?"

"Not really, I don't care about it, but my girlfriend loves the show and her birthday is coming and I'm looking for the perfect present for her."
