Time to shop

Now he'd had his fun, it was time to do what he'd originally come for, a whole week's shopping, completely free.

He grabbed a basket and filled it with the essential items before putting in items such as cartons of cigarettes and cases of beer before bringing it all before Pop, now back in his original spot and still with his trousers down around his ankles.

"So, Pop, how much do I owe you? What's that?" he leaned in close to the frozen Storekeeper, pretending like the old man was speaking quietly "All free? You sure? Well, if you say so, Pop.."

Of course, Pop said nothing as he continued to stare blankly and opened mouth at the equally motionless Customer he'd been serving when time first stopped.

Robert smiled as he walked past Mrs. Schultz, still with the now empty can of cat food in her hand, and left the store.
