The walls of the supermarket, which once symbolized a refuge of routine and security, now loomed like an oppressive prison.I headed to the parking lot in search of my car, an old blue sedan that barely managed to keep running. The gray clouds mirrored my mood, threatening to unleash a storm over Chicago. My dark brown hair, usually shiny, now looked dull, much like my spirit. My heart pounded as I recalled every word of the conversation I had just had with that man.“Miss Williams, I need to speak with you in my office,” Mr. Thompson, the manager, had said with his usual insidious smile.I felt a knot in my stomach, anticipating what might come.
