Closure

After announcing that Target was now closed, they shut off half the lights (similar to what my hometown library did to get their patrons out) giving the near empty store an eerie feel. Immediately afterwards, people scurried out of various aisles and corners of the store, heading towards to checkout counters. I had no idea that so many people could have been hiding in Target. Watching this gave me the same sensation I had when I watched a throng of rats emerge out of the various nooks of a sinking tugboat and amass at the bow.
