Shoppers

She was still feeling groggy when she parked the car.

She’d been working overtime and the rest of the family were already there when she got home. Because of her obvious injuries; bruised arms and neck, swollen eye and a couple of sticky plasters on her face, they all gathered around while she slumped into the nearest chair. She was still dazed and couldn’t tell them much, only that she’d called in at the supermarket on the way home from work. She remembers waking up in the manager’s office. They were very nice to her, giving her a cup of tea and a biscuit. They let her sit for a while before she was able to stand up. Although she kept being asked what had happened, she was too traumatised to recall anything clearly.

“If it’s alright,” she said, “I think I should just go up and lay down.”

They all agreed.

As her husband was helping her out of the chair, it suddenly dawned on him to ask, “This was at the local supermarket, was it?”

“Yes,” she replied weakly.

“What did you go in for?”

“Toilet rolls.”

  1. I have been browsing online more than three hours today, yet I never found any interesting article like yours. It’s pretty worth enough for me. Personally, if all website owners and bloggers made good content as you did, the web will be much more useful than ever before.

  2. When I originally commented I clicked the -Notify me when new comments are added- checkbox and now each time a comment is added I get four emails with the same comment. Is there any way you can remove me from that service? Thanks!

  3. Hi there, I found your blog by the use of Google whilst looking for a similar matter, your web site got here up, it appears to be like good. I’ve bookmarked it in my google bookmarks.

  4. I have not checked in here for some time because I thought it was getting boring, but the last several posts are great quality so I guess I’ll add you back to my daily bloglist. You deserve it my friend 🙂

  5. Thanks for another informative website. Where else could I get that kind of information written in such a perfect way? I have a project that I am just now working on, and I have been on the look out for such information.

  6. I do believe all the concepts you’ve offered in your post. They’re really convincing and will definitely work. Still, the posts are too short for starters. May you please lengthen them a little from subsequent time? Thanks for the post.

  7. Have you ever considered creating an ebook or guest authoring on other sites? I have a blog centered on the same topics you discuss and would really like to have you share some stories/information. I know my readers would value your work. If you are even remotely interested, feel free to shoot me an e-mail.

  8. With everything that seems to be building within this area, a significant percentage of perspectives are somewhat refreshing. Having said that, I am sorry, but I do not subscribe to your entire strategy, all be it exciting none the less. It appears to us that your commentary are not completely validated and in simple fact you are yourself not wholly certain of your point. In any case I did appreciate examining it.

  9. That is really attention-grabbing, You’re a very professional blogger. I have joined your rss feed and look ahead to in search of more of your excellent post. Also, I’ve shared your web site in my social networks!
