“How desperate are you for entertainment that you’d steal?” Edith yelled. She pulled a tube of toothpaste from the front pocket of her floral apron and began to nurse on the thing as though it was a Gogurt. Everyone could see she had several more tubes on standby for when she sucked the first one dry.

“You are eating toothpaste! If that isn’t desperate, I don’t know what is,” Grant said.

“This isn’t desperation! I’m on a budget and I had two-for-one coupons! Besides, the mint flavor calms me down.”

Edith’s refusal to loot during end times was annoying to say the least and her suggestion that she was capable of operating in a calm state of mind was comical to Grant.

“I don’t think you know what the word ‘calm’ means, lady,” he spat.

“Look you piece of shit,” Edith screeched, “your mother may have let you disrespect her like this, but I won’t stand for it!”

Ian wasn’t prone to fits of rage or violence, but when he heard the word ‘mother’, it set him off and he took up Grant’s fight as though it were his own. “No, you look you psycho bitch! My mother was great. You should be dead instead of her!”

Grant laughed.

The other Walgreens survivors gasped.

Edith’s face went red. The tube of toothpaste dropped to the floor, sending a small glob of the mint-flavored dental hygiene goo shooting out onto Edith’s Crocs. She opened her mouth to speak, but she could find no words. One of the women ushered her away, down the greeting card aisle, her sanctuary, where heavy sobs could be heard.

“I think you boys should leave,” the man said.

“Fuck you and your stupid rules,” Grant replied.

In the secluded back parking lot of the building, they sat on a curb to formulate a plan. Grant pulled open his backpack.

“I smuggled some stuff out.” He presented Ian with a tube of ChapStick, a deck of cards, a travel-sized package of Q-Tips, and a book of crossword puzzles. It was an odd assortment, but Ian saw the usefulness of each item and wholeheartedly approved of Grant’s rebellion.
