This is my kingdom, but you are all welcome to join me. Juan sighed heavily as he went from mundane task to mundane task at his neighborhood grocery s...ore. Stocking shelves and ringing up customers was a part-time job, but it drained his life every second he spent there. The teenager had come to know every aisle well in the few months he had worked there during early mornings and late nights. The only thing that seemed to break the monotony was the few conversations he had with his far older. Amy couldn’t begin to imagine how Jill cooked for all these men. Virgil sat at the head of the table, with Jill on his right, of course, and on his left the chair was empty, supposedly for a niece that would be joining them shortly.

I also put in a dozen of the small ones with the powders.
