The white lady who moves in goes into a mini mart across from her house.[She had never gone into the store before. It seemed like some fraternity house or private club she was not yet a member of. Her instinct about the store was more on point then she might have imagined...When Sandy approached, the mini-mart was filled with people and chatter. Sandy appeared in the doorway and stopped just inside. The place fell deathly quiet. Met by burning eyes, Sandy advanced just beyond the first row of canned goods. She could feel eyes trailing her. Sensing a tension mounting in her store, the owner, Juliette James called to the white lady from up front.
"May I help you?"
"No. I'm fine. Thank you."
She could feel it: Every hint of motion she made was being scrutinized, especially by the women. Their eyes cut like razors, peeling back her skin and clothes. The whole affair wore on Sandy. She decided to get out of there...On the way out she heard snickering. From the far corner a woman's voice trailed her: Beeeeeeiiiiiiitttttcccch! Beeeeiiiiittttttccchhhh!]
