Heart of Glass Chapter Two

 Hello. C J here. I've finished, proofread and uploaded Heart of Glass Chapter Two. It's in the Heart of Glass folder in the Novels link in the main menu. Here's a PG rated sample.

     It was a week after Summermoon and Blue was Downtown in Central District.
    It was nearing the time the stores opened and he was walking out of a subway station onto the busy streets. The air was cool and he could smell the warmth of the sun just hitting the concrete. He had plans for the morning. It was marathon shopping time.
    Blue had a lot of money and, considering that he was being paid for the vacation time, he figured that money could give him something to do.
    He had lists of things to look at and other lists of things to buy. He was scrolling through them on his high end business phone when he looked up and realized the shop he was starting with wasn’t open yet. He frowned. That posed a problem.
    He shrugged and turned to head toward the nearest QuickCafe.
    An hour later and a lot of walking led him back to the store. It was a general store owned by one of the grocery chains. He needed a few odds and ends and thought he’d start there. The day was already heating up as he went inside.
    Then things got strange.
    He needed ten things. One of them was going to the Food-Mart down the street from them and getting long grain rice. They needed a large bag of it. The general store had it and it was the same price. Blue frowned again.
    That made his five stops into one stop.
    He left the general store with two shopping bags and his entire list done. He decided to head back to his house, having nothing else to do. His exciting day of marathon shopping had dried up in one go. Maybe money couldn’t fix this.
    On his way home he passed by the QuickCafe and got another coffee.
