"Hello. Did you find everything OK?"
"Yes."
"How are you today?"
"I'm hangin' in there."
"Are you a member of our super-saver club?"
"No."
"Can I get your e-mail address?"
The entire world, in fact the entire universe, splits itself in two. Not two halves, but rather into two distinct and complete universes. However, neither frontier has been realized yet, they are only universes of potential. Until I choose a path, a paradox forms in which universes both exist and do not exist. And in this instant I am a resident of neither, only more nothingness floating in the void of infinite possibility. My ethereal spirit steps away and views both universes with a cold, calculating vision. It weighs the positives and negatives of both universes simultaneously. It judges all infinity, judges it twice in fact, and does it all in the briefest of moments. It took only a second for my soul to condemn an entire universe to desolation, banished forever into the oceans of lost opportunity.
"No."
"OK then, that'll be $15.48."
"Here you are."
"And here's your change. Thank you, have a nice day."
"I'll try, you too..."

The clerk surprised me by asking for my e-mail address. They never used to do that. It messed up my purchasing rhythm.
So.....I hate it when stores ask for my e-mail address...that would be the point of this post I guess.
What store was this? Was it a clothing store? I think every clothing store nowadays asks for email addressess...
But you said super-saver club...Walmart? Meijer? Does Meijer have a super-saver club?
AHHHHH!!! The mystery is killing me!
And did you really say "No", or "No thank you" to the email request?
It was Barnes and Noble. I can't remember what they actually call their membership club so I just called it a super-saver club.
And yes, I really did say no to their request for my e-mail address. But the question took me off guard and I just stood there for a couple beats with a stupid look on my face.
I wasn't actually thinking about the multiverse at the time, but that's my excuse...
Haha, just a blunt "no". Awesome.
And it would have been equally as awesome if you actually did stand there and think about all that stuffas the clerk waited for your response. What would that have taken- at least a minute, yea? Haha, that's a funny mental image.
