I stumbled around for nearly two hours and I never saw a single tire. I stood in the lobby and made funny faces in a mirror, I kicked empty soda cans into a small pile. I watched a candy bar machine remain empty with a forlorn look on my face. I memorized the names of all 66 books of The Bible in order. I hollared "Ally ally in for free!" in case I had interrupted a game of Hide and Seek. I invented a little "skip wiggle spin stomp" dance. And I made friends with a giant bunny. But I never saw a tire or a human being in the two hours that I shopped.
