Dinner and Looking at Cases for Movies

Fernando sits at his desk one evening when the guy who once tried selling him a crapton of VHS tapes for far more than their worth comes in. Fernando hasn't seen him in nearly a year. He is cradling a brown paper bag in the crook of his elbow and eats some form of fried snack food out of it. Fernando is unsure if the chips are being eaten straight out of there or if there is a bag within the bag. Fernando greets him but the man ignores him.

He meanders around the comedy section of the store while he eats his bag of chips. The store is otherwise empty and deathly silent, so Fernando can hear every crunch. This lasts for about ten minutes, until Fernando hears the crumpling of a plastic bag. Mystery solved!

Then he comes up to the counter, sucking chip flavor-dust off his fingers, and ruminates about filling out a slip for Fernando's drawing. He decides not to and heads off on his merry way.

Hmm.
