The sterile, humming fluorescent lights of the big-box store cast a flat glare over the endless rows of consumer goods. Your bandmates have already splintered off, disappearing into the labyrinthine aisles like ghosts in a warehouse.

"Excuse me?" she demands, her voice cutting through the silence like a knife. A Karen in her natural habitat. What could she possibly want from you?
