Broken Scales

 


Broken Scales


By Craig Wilson


The smoke clears, and I find myself outside.

I don’t remember leaving my house, though.

I see I am right outside my local supermarket.

I figure I am here to shop, so I head on inside.

I check my list and only need several things.

So, I grab a basket and fill it with some stuff.

I go to the self-service checkout to check out.

The scales seem broken, and I am overcharged.

I complain to the staff, but no one helps me.

My phone’s alarm goes off, and I soon wake up.


The End
