Bookseller

by Simon Petrie

"After a book, sir?"
"Yes. Marvel's 'Radiation-Induced Superpowers: Better Living through High Energy Particle Physics', please."
"Wait one … sorry, sold out."
"No, you're not. Try the storeroom, that shelf just behind the door."

I open the door.  I'd forgotten how much I hate smart alecs with X-ray vision.
