He dreaded this moment.
He knew what would happen.
The surge, as they found the entrance unblocked.
It was dangerous.
He wished there was another way to do it,
but there wasn't.
He had to unlock the doors
and watch as the hoard rushed in.
It was always Bedlam on first day of the sales.

Oooo I'm getting better at guessing... it was the word surge that provided the clue. Very good 55.
Oh that's good. And it's why I never go shopping in January!
Ahhh! Sales. Scary times :-)
oh that's the truth!

It's A Jungle Out There!

Oh, what a grrrreat Flash 55, Akelamalu!
You had me wondering all the way what the ending was going to be!!!!
BRILLIANT!
And one that I (being in retail) can so identify with. There's nothing as scary as the first day of a big sale!!!
Have a great weekend, m'dear!

Me too guatami!
I love the dark and sinister start that explodes into day to day reality. Excellent 55.
My 55 is HERE .
Very clever - day after a holiday is Bedlam
great 55

We did it once and never again!
So True -- the day the morning sales start, always amazed me -- to watch the frenzy from a safe distance. When I was a young one, I remember it was the crushing pushing moment when the doors were being opened that a few poor souls lost their lives being pushed through the plate glass doors, Then they went to tempered glass,
nice 55er,,,
cheers,

Yeah, and this behavior is why I think mankind is devolving rather than evolving.
akelamalu: I saw some of those sales surges. hehehe.
you had it right all the way. hehehe.

Fools rush in, where Angels fear to tread.
Loved your post-holiday post!
I hope that you escaped unscathed!
Thanks for playing, and have a Kick Ass Week-End...G
LOL! My mom got caught in one of those when she was a department manager at a store in the 80's. She was actually scared for a few moments. She stood in front of a merchandise display at the top of an escalator, and yelled at the mob to "Go around! Go around!"
Why thankyou Monkey Man that's exactly the effect I was aiming for. :)
It definitely is Moondustwriter
I've never done it, too dangerous for me CheshireWife
At least it's not 'as' dangerous now with the tempered glass Joanny
You're right Quilly
Thanks Spiky x
I don't go to the sales on the first day G-man, I value my life too much. ;)
I can imagine your Mom's fear being caught up in that mayhem Julia :0
Yep, and the reason I never going shopping if it can be at all avoided!
I do not envy those in retail.
I do not envy those in retail.
What some will endure for a bargain.
I quite enjoy shopping Linda but I certainly wouldn't go to the first day of the sales! LOL
Me neither SAW
I know, they're crazy Trav!
No way would I race to the sales like that!
