Hello anon, OP here. This is a bonus, fun little reading for you (don't take it literally, however, there will be parts that stick out which you will be able to 'extract' from the read - which may have you see things from a different perspective):

be me
late night, gaming session in full swing
stomach rumbles
decide to make a sandwich, the food of kings
open fridge
horror.png
we are out of cheese

tell myself it can wait until tomorrow
try to go back to game, but the seed of doubt has been planted
the sandwich that could have been haunts my every thought
can't focus, keep dying to a tutorial-level boss
fine. I'll go.

put on "outside pants" over my pajama pants
drive to the 24/7 grocery store
place is a ghost town, perfect
head straight for the cheese aisle like a guided missile
grab a block of sharp cheddar
mission accomplished

walk to self-checkout
only one open, a lady is there with a mountain of groceries
she is scanning each individual grape
I am not exaggerating
she picks up a single grape, finds the barcode on the bag, scans it, puts it back
the machine is screaming "PLEASE PLACE ITEM IN BAGGING AREA"
I am in hell

wait for what feels like an eternity
she finally finishes her grape saga and moves on to scanning 30 separate yogurts
I could die here
my bones could be discovered by a future civilization, clutching a block of cheese
