THE DEAD GAME—DAY 26
Returning from her lunch break, Shana was startled to find the front door to her store standing wide open. She had locked it before going out. She entered even though she knew that she should first call for help. But this was her store and no one was going to frighten her away.
The store was in complete shambles—as if a strong wind had blown through and ransacked it. More like a tornado. Most of her bottles and paraphernalia were lying across the floor with what was left of her showcases and furniture in the front room.
She suspected that somebody in town was very determined to close her down. It will take much more than a few broken bottles to chase me out of town.
She cleaned up the mess herself without worrying anyone else with her problem. She didn’t want to upset Linda any further since she was already too agitated about the upcoming party. From now on, she was going to keep a closer watch on the eccentric residents in town, like the bland Minnie and Frank, the too-quiet Hank, and the too-talkative Shirley. And Todd and his friends on the hill were much too aloof—and who knew what they were up to most of the time?
