Last-Minute Shoppers
by thegooddoctor in 100 Words
“Wrapping paper! Ha, ha!”
Shoppers passed by clutching rolls of it.
“Fancy spending Christmas Eve wrapping presents!” Ian thought, reflecting on how he’d finished his yesterday.
“My God, they’re fighting over chocolates,” he sneered, observing a couple of housewives tugging the ends of a Milk Tray box in Howell’s Department Store.
He resolved to have a latte in Starbucks to fully savour the spectacle before the shops finally closed.
“Chocolates?!…Christ, I forgot the wife’s chocolates!”
Ian rushed out of the café.
“Where the hell can I find some now?” he thought, seeing the doors of Howell’s snap shut.

Allison refused to budge. By all rights, she was entitled to stay in this booth as long as she liked. She’d bought a latte after all, never mind that had been well over three hours ago.
She looked around the coffee shop, hoping to find an empty table somewhere else she could direct the interlopers. They were in the midst of the lunch rush, however, when all the students got out of classes. There really were no other options.
“I suppose we can share.” Allison grudgingly scooted over and made room for the happy couple.
Oh, how she hated them.
