Tears in the Aisle (Otherwise Untitled)
#196 of Short Stories
A badger puts a plan into motion.
~ To the success of the plan, the grocery was significantly less occupied during the hours the badger had selected, and she found the cereal aisle to be empty on her arrival. She peered down along its length, fingers clamped firmly onto the handle of the cart.
~ "I have to get back to living my life.", muttered quietly to herself as the cart turned the corner and alongside the wall of colorful boxes.
~ Strolling along down the aisle, she mustered up the courage to not close her eyes as she passed the small collection of the brands that had been his favorite, though not the strength to refrain from crying.
