2 Months Later

After the traumatic events of that day, things have been predictably awkward between Dan and his mother. He still feels very guilty, and has been on his best behaviour.

But also, life just feels so dull now, without good porn, and with him so scared to step a foot out of line, lest something awful happen to his mother again.

A social media account he follows pings up with a notification. It's a trading card shop in the next town over.

'We're liquidating our stock of Magic Masters booster packs! 90% off while stocks last!'

HOLY SHIT. THAT IS AN INCREDIBLE DEAL.

"I'm off out." He mumbles as he hurries past the kitchen where his mother is doing the dishes.

"Okay, son. Be safe." He hears her call back.

He throws himself into the driver's seat of the car, and quickly pulls away.

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE LET THERE BE SOME PACKS LEFT WHEN I GET THERE!!!
