A women named Lorna shes my age and seems to be a nice girl,although I dont know her personally, as not to many people here do know each other well, for people who live in a overly populated town some people just rarely encounter each other. I am friendly with a few like the old lady next door and her grand daughter Lydia who is a year younger or Diana the girl that works at the other shop down the street, who is a year or two older than me. Sometimes during my breaks I would go to talk to her, while picking up some things for home.
Lorna and I both take turns cooking and stalking the shelves then prepare the deserts with whatever flour we can find. We have some far animals like chickens 3 cows, a couple pigs and piglets and goats. We also have a garden of vegetables and berry bushes and fruit trees ,that have grown over the years. Different small groups of people have been assigned to work at different factions, since once you turn 16 you are a signed to work at a faction. Although not everyone is treated equally some workers get more respect and others are considered underprivileged.
The kitchen to our food store is small, with a small fridge packed with ice, along with mini deep freezer packed with ice. We have a small 4 burner camp stove that runs on propane, that we have to scavenge for twice a month. We usually stay about 3 hours to prepare food or some nights Lorna or I leave early and would come in early the next morning to finish stalking before opening at 7. This afternoon is not to busy in the shop there's only been a few people, I finish putting 8 bags of homemade bread and 6 containers of beef sew on the shelf in the aisle and put the stew into the deep freezer.
Suddenly a older man comes to the counter with some items he has a hat on and has a dark uncut bushy beard and I notice he has a rip in his shirt and his jeans are faded in some areas indicating they are warn out, He looks in his mid 30s. I go back to the counter I scan his bread,his container of beef stew, 5 eggs, a strawberry pie, 3 potatoes and a little plastic doll that's for sale at the counter. I scan it, and the cash beeps repeatedly 12 items then stops.
