Rosamie's Monologue

Improved Essays
While Alexandria would have wanted nothing more than to explore every inch of her newly acquired home, reality struck. If she hit the local supermarket, she could stock up on the necessities and not have to eat restaurant food every day, but she needed to get back to Beau Chênes before nightfall.
With her arms overflowing with the structured paper bags containing her purchases, she rushed out of the store and barged into a customer entering through the automatic door.
Wonderful. She thought. I’ve barely spent a day in the neighborhood and I’m already spacing out and injuring fellow patrons.
A cold, bony hand grabbed her wrist and yanked her out of her inner monologue. It sent a chill through her core, and due to the grip being so tight, she wasn’t sure whether it was for support or out of anger. She met the intense stare of milky, brown eyes that possessed an eerie golden ring encircling the irises. The face recognizable from a previous encounter—Madame Rosamie. She sensed this strange woman could look into her mind and somehow know every thought she’d ever had.

    I could hear them gossiping in the seat behind me on the bus, about Lyla, a cryptic like woman that lived on my block, about five doors away. She came out of a cab on crutches last night, which wasn’t a big surprise; because it wasn’t the first time she had been spotted like that. She spent much of the time wearing vast, dark glasses. Maybe she wanted an air of mystery, but the real mystery was whether she was hiding a black eye or not. “Well she is definitely putting up with something that she shouldn’t,” hollered the taller girl, with an air of authority.…

    In “Amazon opens its grocery store without a checkout line to the Public” Elizabeth Weise explains Amazon latest accomplishment, the opening of the first technology-based grocery store that “lets you browse, grab and walk out- skipping the checkout line” (Weise 1).

Now, with this first store opened for trial purposes, customers can grab any item off a shelf or put it back and sensors and an app keep track of it all. The app is connected to a payment method and shoppers can simply “just walk out” of the store (Weise 2). Weise agrees that it does eliminate grocery store jobs but…
