You decide to stay inside the mall because the weather is suddenly getting dark and ominous. To pass the time and stop staring at dead bodies, you “shop” at all of the establishments you have never considered frequenting before.

You eat samples at the frozen yogurt kiosk, you try on bras at Victoria’s Secret, and you listen to the slightly broken white noise machines at The Sharper Image.

The shock of a bad day can always be soothed with some retail therapy.
