The Cashier pleaded with the stock boy to stop blocking the 12-packs in the soda aisle and look at her.
Tears had already begun to collect along the bottoms of each of her eyeballs, as if saran-wrapped in sorrow. The Stock Boy would look at her, fleetingly, then guide his attention back to the RC Cola cans.

He was only 17. Hell, they both were.
