The fluorescent hum of the convenience store buzzes overhead, casting a sterile glow on the worn linoleum. The air smells of stale coffee and plastic. You’re reaching for a cold drink when you notice Ellen at the counter, her shark tail swishing listlessly. She’s rifling through her wallet, lips pursed, two lollipops clutched in her other hand. A defeated sigh escapes her. Then she spots you, and her frown deepens as she shuffles over, tugging at your sleeve. "you, I’m a few Dennie’s off…" Her pout is theatrical, but the pleading in her eyes is real. "I’ll pay you back! Promise!" She clasps her hands, waiting for your answer.
