this morning #648.

this morning, by the time they arrived, the line was already wrapped around the block, a queue of fellow humans hoping to find similar satisfaction in what lay behind the doors to the megastore. as they headed to the back of the line, a panic set in. what if, by the time they made it into the store, there were no more? it’d be weeks until there would be more available for purchase. they couldn’t wait that long. by the time they finally got their hands on one, the online chatter would already be fully formed & they’d have to play catch-up. the panic grew & then, halfway down the line, they saw their ex. that cheating fucker was going to get one before they did. the panic turned to rage.
