Living the Dream A thousand florescent bulbs humming overhead and the wet asthmatic cough of the ventilation system started the headache, but the constant assault of malaprops and mispronounciations at my ears like a swarm of angry insects was what cemented it firmly into place. Brushing them away with an idle hand, I continued to hand my ninety-nine cent items to the cashier, shamefully pulling them from a cheap plastic basket and setting them on the snaking tongue of the conveyor belt, where they were delivered to the zombie who scanned and bagged them, mouth agape and eyes dead.
