Meeting with a Stranger

Twist: The setting for your story is a Walmart parking lot.
“Tom, I’m excited to meet you at the Cuckaboro Walmart parking lot.”
“Sophia, me too,” I reply, winking at my mirror image. “Shall we meet at the cart coral area?”
“Yes, why not? See you soon,” Sophia replies happily, ending the call.
“Does she know what she’s in for?” I ask the mirror. Guess not.
“Tom isn’t my name; playing nice isn’t my game,” I whisper, looking at the razor-sharp knife.
Mirror Man nods, not a kernel of doubt in his mind.
“Sophia, didn’t your parents tell you not to trust handsome strangers,” I whisper to the full moon.
