All Hallows Eve

Sara parallel parked perfectly in front of SQUARESVILLE. “This will only take a sec,” Matt told his sister as Cat opened the car door and ran into the store. Cat had fallen in love with the place three years earlier when Aurora Stevens had purchased the building and asked for their help in stocking it. She spent many hours working in the store, helping customers, arranging displays and any other chore that was needed. The bell chimed loudly as Cat entered. The store was separated by different periods in time, from the early 1900’s up to the 1980’s. Vinyl records were used as wallpaper and an old English style red telephone booth stood in one corner. An old wringer washing machine resided in another. Aurora stood at the cash register wrapping up a purchase. She smiled at Cat and then frowned as a shriek from the back area brought Amanda in to view, hopping on one foot.

“Honey what did you do?” Aurora asked her daughter.

“That stupid marble statue! Mom I think I broke my toe!” she screeched out, still hopping on one foot.

“Now honey, don’t exaggerate. And how did you kick it, that statue has been there forever! How could you forget it was there? It’s huge!” she replied shaking her head at her daughter. “Thank you for your purchase and come again,” Aurora told the customer while handing her the neatly wrapped package.

Cat crossed the shop to help Amanda. “Are you okay?” Cat asked as she helped Amanda sit down.

“Yeah, I guess. The pain’s going away, but I hate that damn statue,” Amanda murmured.

“The guys are waiting outside, are you ready?” Cat asked. Amanda nodded while pouting about her toe.

“Mom I’m going out! I know, I know, be home by midnight. Love you!” she called out over her shoulder as Cat helped her hobble to the door.

“Bye honey. See you later, thank you for all your help today,” Aurora said and then turned to help another customer.
