The Grocery Store at the End of the World

David works three jobs. He's tired all the time. Driving home from his overnight security shift and he sees it: a grocery store he's never noticed before. The lights are on. The parking lot is empty. The sign says "FOOD KING - OPEN 24 HOURS - EVERYTHING MUST GO."
He goes in for milk and bread. Quick run. In and out.
Except the aisles are stocked with things that shouldn't exist anymore. The cereal he ate as a kid—discontinued in 1998. The birthday cake his mom made for his eighth birthday. The letter his grandmother wrote him before she died—the one he lost in a move.
Everything he's ever regretted losing. Everything he thought was gone forever. All here. All for sale.
But when he gets to checkout, the price isn't in dollars. It's in moments. The cereal costs the morning he decided to stop eating breakfast. The birthday cake costs his thirtieth birthday, the one he spent alone. The letter costs the day he stopped visiting his grandmother because he was too busy.
Some stores don't sell things. They sell them back. And the price is always higher than you think.
A story about regret, what we trade for survival, and learning that you can't buy back what you've already given away.
