Day 3258 —Shopping at the Wall—

I met this person by chance who had just gotten off the bus. We were both waiting in line at a convenience store. She asked me if the Wallymart was close to here. I said, “Wally who?” 

“The Wallymart, my phone says it is less than a mile that way.” It took me a moment to register what she could be talking about. 

“You mean Walmart?” She nodded. 

I confirmed her question, and we both stood there for a moment in silence. She had a small bag with her and had plans to wait at the store.

I thought of her story as I walked through the aisles today, looking for nothing but enjoying having time to peruse.
