It was a boring, slow evening in the Dot's store and Jen couldn't help but watch the clock. There were few customers, everything was tidied and put away, and someone else was already on stock.
Jen really wanted to smoke, but was broke and the other associates on shift were non-smokers.
"Goddamn healthy bastards." Jen though to herself idley while lazily watching the few elderly customers browse.
There wasn't even one full change room.
Jen was gazing longingly out the window when she saw people begin to point, scream, and run in one direction down the street. The customers in the store, curious, left out the front of the store, screamed, and ran in the same direction as everyone else.
Cars, trucks, and busses were booking it down the road.
Interested, Jen and her co-workers meandered to the front of the store to see what was the comotion.
At first they saw nothing, then...
One co-worker screamed, the other fainted, and Jen burst out laughing.
Slithering down the road, snapping up the occasional unlucky pedestrian, was a huge snake. Its head was as big as a VW Bug, it's fangs easily as long as Jens arms. It's scales were a shiney green and black and it's eyes were as big as hub-caps.
Jen was delighted. She loved snakes.
"I'm going to make a sign!" Jen said excitedly, as the one concious co-worker dragged the fainted one away from the window.
"Closed on account of Giant Snake!" she said laughing, watching the thing gobble down another hapless pedestrian.
Jen promptly made the sign, closed the store, and watched the snake slither by... For 15 minutes. It was REALLY long.
She giggled at the few people shaped lumps as they passed.
THE END.
