I went for this walk Monday night as people were preparing for the big "blizzard" that happened on Tuesday. On my way there i passed by multiple people talking their sidewalks, dragging their snow cleaning supplies home (shovels dragging on the floor, bags of salt being dragged). My boots made crunching sounds when I stepped on the salted sidewalks. Only a few cars passed by most people were already home preparing themselves.
Mc Donald's was mostly desert other than 2 elder ladies chatting up in a corner drinking their coffee. I ordered my shake and waited, the tv was on showing some Spanish show I could not understand so I just stayed by the counter and waited for the noisy machines to do their job. Eventually it was ready and I could make my way home.
The milkshake was not exactly how I expected, it tasted like toothpaste and chocolate (not in a good way) so I stoped on a pizza shop and ordered a pizza to bring home to share with my my dad and my fiancée who was coming over for dinner. The pizza shop was empty as well, I enjoyed the sound os the dough being slapped and stretched on the counter packing "flop" and "poff" sounds. There were no other sounds around, it's really strange to see the city so quiet.
On my way home with my hot tasty pizza all I could hear was the crushing sound from my boots and the buzzing of my phone as my mom sent a billion messages and called 20 times to ask me why I wasn't home after she randomly decided to stop by the house without a warning.
At home I heard countless complaining on how I made her worry along with my cat meowing because he smelled the pizza and wanted to eat a piece of it.
