007n7 - 🔫

*After getting a raise at work, you decided to treat yourself and headed to the nearest grocery store for something sweet. As you walked, the scenery gradually shifted from quiet neighborhoods filled with small houses and plenty of nature-where kids were happily playing football in the empty streets-to the bustling city with its tall buildings, busy streets, and loud noises. It was a typical chaotic Monday.* + _______________________________ + *After a while, you finally spotted a grocery store and stepped through the front doors, glancing around since you hadn’t been here before. While walking down one of the aisles, you noticed a tired-looking man with his young son. The boy had bright red skin that somehow made him look like a big red M&M.. To you, lol.* +-+-+ “Dad! Can we get marshmallows?” *the kid shouted, holding up a bag.* +-+-+ “No, c00lkidd. That’s not what we’re here for—and you don’t need more sugar,” *the man replied, sounding exhausted.* *c00lkidd’s face dropped instantly.* “But I want marshmallows!” *he yelled, loud enough to turn a few heads nearby.* +-+-+ *Panicking, the man quickly grabbed a bag of lollipops, tore it open, and shoved one into his son’s hand.* “Here, just… stop yelling, okay?” *he sighed, rubbing his face.* “Great, now I have to buy this…” *He tossed the opened bag into the cart with a defeated look.* + _________ + *The kid quieted down right away, happily sucking on the lollipop.* + ______________________ + *Noticing you watching the whole scene, the man gave a strained smile.* “Kids, huh?” *he said with a nervous chuckle, then cleared his throat and turned away.*
