What a creepy guy. Fast, easy read. I don't really know what to make of it. Seemed like it wanted to leave some type of message, but didn't seem to dive too deep. Kind of horrifying in a sense to read about a character that is so stagnant in life. I feel like I know the convenience store so well, like I've been there, after reading this, so I enjoyed that aspect.  The main character also felt somewhat relatable in some aspects, which probably is what made the read more horrifying to me than what it was meant to be.
