What To Do

There are fifty-three ceiling tiles. There are ten steps per floor. That's eighty steps to get to ground level. I walk outside to see everything is quiet. Maybe it's quiet because its dark today. People don't seem to like these sort of days. I go to the fountain because it's nice to to rest there on a cool day. I've learned that it's ok to stand by the fountain. Cars don't typically past through here so the danger is low. I leave my rest and go to the grocery store, it's been a while since I bought food. I get one dozen eggs, one carton of milk, one loaf of bread, and some peanut butter. I still had some jelly because peanut butter seems to run out faster than jelly, go figure. The cashier rings me up at twelve dollars and thirty seven cents. I pay the exact price. I walk away with my groceries as a noise causes me to turn around. The cashier is talking to me. She is asking me if I want my change. I shake my head and walk away, while thinking that I had paid exact and therefore had no change left over. I walk into my room 56 and wonder what the next thing to do is.
