The door rings for the seventh time in the minute. People shuffle for roadside provisions at a blinding pace, some taking their time in indecision. Cars full of modern day pilgrims, traveling through a waypoint, their travels sometimes shared with the attendent behind the counter. The items on the shelves, some collecting dust in neglect.
