I’m Hit!
I can't remember the exact year but I believe it was the winter of '93, but it was freezing out and Philadelphia had ice storms for about two to three weeks. Black ice was everywhere. White ice, too. All the ices. The roads and pavements were sheets of slippery sludge and frozen ground. The street had been salted so they were passable but most of the pavements were like skating rinks still.

Retail Stories: "I'm Trying to Order a Gift For My Wife"
I've worked on multiple retail jobs and collected a lot of interesting stories. I still think back to the experiences... This particular story isn't really a retail story, as the setting is different, however, since it's still customer-facing and quite interesting, let's still keep it in this collection.

Monsters of Stone
Decades ago there's a Spanish song from the 80's by Argentinian singer Amanda Miguel called "Castillos" (Castles). In which her raunchy and aggressive voice mixed with sadness and anger sings a story of meeting a man who was offering a fairy tale full of optimism, hope and a happy ever after life to then during a storm or when the situation turns chaotic, she founds out who he was in reality. He was turning into a stone monster. The consequences of what she saw turned into a person who stopped dreaming, stop hoping, stop dreaming about having someone in her life.
