this morning #2028.

this morning, i stepped into the queue before the sun had finished rising. peering forward, it looked like there were about fifty people already lined up ahead of me. two hours still until the store opens. damn. i’d assumed that, given that it’s new year’s day, there’d be less folks waiting out here so early. i’m sure it’ll be fine. there must be enough pairs for all of us. the man standing in front of me looked smart so i asked him. “excuse me. do you know how many pairs the store is selling?” he shrugged, crossed his fingers & turned back around. HOW RUDE. i knew i should’ve got up earlier. what if i get to the door & they’ve run out? i swear to god. if this wanker in front of me gets a pair & i don’t, i’ll never forgive myself.
