The fruit and vegetables were shining bright on the shelves, which were fully stocked. The smells of exotic fruits was so inviting that she had to pick some up. It would have done a perfect evening snack when she would get back home in just a couple of minute, she just had to get so more things for the fridge. Passing by the employees were stocking the gardening shelves and big and colourful flowers distracted from what she needed to buy, so she passed in the middle of those and went straight to the tills, which were empty. She could be back even sooner than she thought, she couldn’t wait any longer to share the news of the promotion.
The white lights of the fridges were so strong that there were no shadows and it almost blinded her, it was like a fake set ready to be destroyed by military tests. The fruit and vegetables had solid colours with no shades giving them a plastic feeling, a yellow sign made her circle around a vinegar puddle, the smell was so strong her eyes started to water and the back of the throat closed to the acidic smell. The queue at the till wasn’t too long but the people chatting to each other separated her almost unnaturally from the reality. That awful day, when she was left by him felt neverending and fake. Like the feeling he had for her.
