Dorothy spent much of the day expanding the old doghouse in the yard, using some wood the family had had in their basement. Carpentry was a familiar subject to her-- she'd helped repair barns and things after twisters came through too close to the farm. Eventually the daylight started to wane, and Dorothy put her hammer away for the day. After having a sandwich and a glass of juice, she hopped in her truck and headed into town to pick up some things. She wasn't sure if anyone would be alive to pay, but she took her wallet anyway.
She pulled up at the general store at around the time the sun began to set. She checks her list-- Flashlights and batteries. That's all she needs. This should be quick.
In and out.
