The supermarket is lit by a cold, flickering fluorescence that washes over the aisles. The scent of detergent and overripe fruit hangs in the air, mixed with the distant rumble of shopping carts and murmuring voices.

His gaze locks onto yours, and in that instant, you know nothing will ever be the same.
