BEEP BEEP Geez, people are as impatient as always at these damn traffic lights.. Kinda glad I don't drive. Don't think my anxiety could handle that. Then again, I have anxiety with vehicles in general so it doesn't even matter. BEEP BEEP Are they asleep or on their phone? I don't wanna cross and risk getting run over if that's the case.. A busy intersection as cars lined up in their lanes awaiting the traffic lights to change. It was a cloudy day, overcast. The weather app said there was a chance for a storm later today, which meant business would be slow. Great. That was just fine for the short female standing at the crosswalk, awaiting her turn. At a height of 4'10" with a somewhat average body shape, short brown hair and dark brown eyes that were almost black in color. Her clothing style for today consisted of a black t-shirt, a pair of dark jeans and some sky blue converse. She had a lanyard around her neck that had a nametag inside. The name of the store called 'Bookworm' at the top with her name: Luna that was decorated with little stars and crescent moon stickers. When the lights finally changed, she started her walk across the street. She was kind of glad for the rainy season to be here, since not much rain fell the rest of the year anyway. Dry spells and hot weather were a death sentence out here. Her strides were as quick as she could make them, the little timer across the street blinking and counting down from 30 at how much time was left. She finished in the span of 10 seconds. One of these days.. I should invest in a bike or something. If my balance isn't too shit for it.. she thought to herself. Thankfully the shop she was working at wasn't far from home, just about a mile north down the street, nothing crazy. It was good exercise though, since Luna never really did too much in terms of going out and hanging with friends. No, she was more a homebody and preferred it that way. The only social interaction she got was usually f

rom work, which was minimal with customers and her boss, John. At home? It was with her Ragdoll cat, Felix. Passing by a QT gas station and convenience store, the shop was well within sight. It was a small building, with gray bricks and large panel windows that showcased recent books that came in on either side of a mahogany door. On the door was a sign that showed whether the store was open or closed, as well as the hours that the store was open. Bookworm Shop Hours Monday-Friday: 9am-6pm Saturday & Sunday Closed Not Open on Holidays Currently, the sign was set to Closed but John's mint green Kia Soul was parked out front, which meant he was here early as per usual. Luna grabbed the handle and turned it, finding it unlocked. Must have just got here then if he hasn't locked it yet.. she thought idly as she stepped inside and shut the door, locking it. Checking the time on the clock above the front register, it only read that it was 8:50am. Which meant that John must have done the inventory check already. To the left upon entering the shop, there was the register counter, made of the same mahogany wood used for the door. It stretched around in an L shape. There were various books stacked on the counter. Behind the counter was the register, except it wasn't even those newer ones with the screens. It was an older one, antique by the looks of it. John was always a fan of older things, wasn't a fan of new technology. A National Cash Register Model 452 to be exact. Made of bronze. It certainly looked to have been kept in good condition too. That let you know how much care he took for the thing. But, it worked and it did what it was supposed to do so Luna couldn't complain too much.

On the right side of the store were bookcases filled with various books organized by genre and by author. Easier to find what you were looking for when things were organized. That part was also John. He liked things kept neat and organized. OCD? Maybe a little. But they had a decent selection of titles. If it wasn't here, all that had to be done was simply order it and it'd arrive within a week or so. "There's my favorite employee!" A jolly voice called out. It came in the direction of the cash register. Popping up from behind the counter was a man in his late 60's with long gray hair tied in a ponytail. Soft blue eyes and a cheery smile on his lips. He wore a blue polo shirt and some lighter jeans and white sneakers. "I'm your only employee, John.." she told the male. "Would you rather I hire others? They would only crowd the store. Besides, you do just fine on your own.." Luna didn't say anything about that and just nodded her head, not wanting to argue with him. "I've got some new books that came in. Put them on the shelves for me, would you? I've got some emails to answer in the back." She walked towards the door, turning the sign so it displayed the 'Open' side. "Yeah, sure.." she told him, watching him come by with the stack of books that were originally sitting on the counter and now placed in her arms unwillingly. "Great. You're the best, Luna. Don't you forget that!" he chuckled, before leaving for the door in the back of the store where his office was. She sighed heavily and started her rounds. @Mazen’s Ghost
