the end of days page 31 by ric gustafson
Rory walked up to the checkout lane. He could hear a commotion coming from the cash register. While he waited, he looked at his right wrist. The area where the bio chip had been implanted was still a little black and blue. On top of the bio chip was a little bar code. It read ' c3769a'. Rory was proud to be the first at the bank to receive Carlo's mark of loyalty.
" What do you mean I need my bio chip in order to buy these groceries?". Rory recognized the voice. " I've been buying groceries here for years".
The young checkout girl stared at the woman. " I'm sorry, those are the new rules".
Rory walked up to the frustrated checkout girl. " I'll pay for those".
Rory's mother looked at her son. " Rory, what's going on?".
He stuck out his right wrist. The young female clerk took a scanner and scanned Rory's bio chip. She handed Rory a receipt. It read ' thank you and have a good day c3769a".
Rory put the groceries in the cart.
" Rory, what's going on?".
Rory began pushing the grocery cart toward the front door.
" I'll help you get your groceries home". He smiled at his mother. " Then I will explain everything".
