Melanie
Man
[A tall, lanky man walks up to the checkout aisle with a man in a wheelchair. The man that's standing is balding and ghostly pale. The white t shirt and white pants he's wearing completely swallow him up. His grey eyes are blank and void of all emotion.
The second man is thin, gangly, and covered from head to toe in bandages. They don't bring anything to the checkout aisle. Melanie looks at them confused.]
"Um...Do you have anything I can scan?"
[The tall man looks at Melanie, and she flinches.] "..."
"Sir, I'm going I have to ask you to leave. You're holding up the line."
"...Do you know the way to Egypt?"
"Jesus Christ...Sir, this isn't funny anymore. Please leave."
[The bandaged man in the wheelchair begins to raise his hand, but the tall man stops him.] "No, master. Spare this one. She'll join you soon..." [The man begins to wheel the man away.]
[Melanie shivers and looks away from them.] "I can serve whoever's next..."
