For the elderly pensioner, it was just another morning at the local shopping centre.

She was grateful that despite her age she could still get about, still catch up with friends. Although, for a while now she had been feeling a sense of emptiness. Whenever this notion made itself felt, she had pushed it away. After all, it was only the silliness of an old woman. She looked down at her list again. She was almost done. One more item in isle four. Using her trolley as both a trolley and a walking frame, she headed back to the shelves of canned foods. She was trying to remember the colour of the can she liked.
