Exercising his mechanical arm, Brandt paced up and down the aisles, not exactly sure why he was even in the store. He knew he was sent out for something, but for what, he couldn't remember. His pace slowed down as he started on his third round of the store, trying to jog his memory. He eventually gave up, deciding it'd be best just to go back and ask what he was sent for, since a cell phone was not present in any pocket.Â
Â
However, as he was about to push open the door, he stopped. His last two rounds he saw no one around, and when he pushed on the door, it didn't budge. Nothing moved, the store was still, and he was concerned. Maybe he just had to camp out for the night, it wasn't going to be so bad. Maybe he could build a fort out of those carts like he always wanted to. Except most of the carts were parked out front of the store, so he really couldn't do that either. Instead, he sat on one of the check out lanes, the power cut off from the hungry machines, and stared out, completely bored now. He took the candy boxes and started to build those up instead, trying to amuse himself for the oncoming hours.
