    The sterile smell of the pharmacy she just entered, attacks her nose like a killer whale attacking a seal.
    Not a very original thought of her because it was on the poster in front of her,
    which tries to say you should care more about the Earth and its inhabitants.
    She doesn’t get it.

    Making her way to the register she sees a man lying on the ground in front the counter, faced down.
    “Shouldn’t we help him?” she asks the girl behind the counter.
    “Oh, no that’s Neil he’s always like that.” The girl replies from behind her magazine.
    Neil tries standing on his legs again, “I think just had a near death experience.”
    The girl behind the counter sighs and continues reading a magazine.

    “I can remember walking in here, and all of the sudden i was out and i saw a bright light.
    At first nobody came, and i just waited and waited for something to happen.
    After waiting for a long time they finally came, they we’re late because they had to finish playing midget golf with Jesus.
    So they told me about heaven and showed me around a bit, i even met Jesus he’s pretty cool and really and i mean really popular with the ladies.
    But i decided to just go back home, they we’re cool about it and told me to come back some other day for some Margaritas they are God’s favourite.”

    The queue that lined up behind them look into all directions trying to avoid Neil’s eyes.
    The girl behind the counter puts her magazine down “So the same as usual?”
    “Yes, some aspirin please.” He says dusting himself off.

    Neil trips when he leaves the pharmacy.
