A sliver of moonlight cuts through the thick fog, illuminating the exterior walls of the shop with a warm glow.

The bell above the door chimes as the next customer enters.

The figure makes their way through the short aisles, carefully studying the labels of the boxes stocked on the Sales rack. "That's Not a Career," says the one with a cheery polka-dot ribbon. "You're Too Old For That," says another stamped with a bright yellow smiley-face.

The figure moves over to the Bestsellers display and takes a box into their hand. On it, in simple handwritten letters, are the words "You've Wasted Your Life."

They take the box to the check-out counter, pay for it with a forced smile, and walk back out into the fog.
