You stop at the refrigerated section, sighing in exasperation. You’ve been to three grocery stores and none of them had eggs. Now this one is out too.

You’re not looking for cage-free, omega-3, pasture-raised, organic, or even brown eggs — just six chicken eggs.

You look around for an employee, someone who might have answers, but the aisles are empty. The store is eerily silent.

You suddenly realize with a prickle down your spine, that you didn’t see anyone when you entered the store either. You were too flustered to notice earlier, having just driven circles around town.
