"You'll find out soon enough. Anyway, see you at dinner time! What a lovely surprise!!!" and I ended the call.Despite this cheerful exchange with my d...ughter, I was perfectly aware that I had entered a minefield. Sure, I'd known all along that the minefield was there, but I now found myself in it sooner than I had expected and under circumstances I hadn't envisaged. As that realization sank in, my mood changed.I went to the front office. Joyce was on the phone, but once she'd finished she. “Well that why I wanted to talk to you.” He still only half looked at me. I didn’t know what this kid was up to, but I told him to come in and sit down in the living room.“Peter, why are you hear; I’m very busy.” I told him “Well! Umm” he licked his lips looking down at his shoes. “I saw what you guys did today!” he said in a very long fast sentence. “What do you mean you saw us? Saw us do what?” I asked him, but I already knew. “Each other…You know having sex.” He said much slower, he seemed. Turns out he was a retired lawyer and only worked to keep his brain from going soft. He showed me around the store and then gave me some lessons on how to run charge cards and operate the register.By six that evening when I headed home, I was doing well enough that Marvin, the old guy, didn't have to look over my shoulder for every transaction. We hadn't seen much of Aaron all day because he stayed back in his office doing whatever.Monday, I was scheduled to work from five in the afternoon. .It took three hours for the world to end.I've learned much about the events of The End, but there must be order to this account. Needless to say, at the time I had no idea what was about to happen and, afterward, had no idea what had happened.I recall their had been rumors on the television about a new terrorist cell, Dissolution I believe they called themselves, had threatened to release an engineered virus they claimed to have developed, but nobody had really taken it seriously, after all,.
