So Yelp told me there was a RadioShack here. I was hyped. I wanted to relive the glory days--buy a phone charger, maybe a laser pointer, or just sniff that nostalgic smell of dusty electronics.
But when I showed up... it was definitely not a RadioShack. It was just a suspiciously quiet store selling one single type of product. No customers. No employees. Just... stillness. Like a liminal space where time and capitalism go to die.
No tech. No wires. No soul. Just row after row of overpriced items and the kind of quiet that makes you think someone's watching you through a tiny camera hidden in a lamp.
I whispered "RadioShack?" and the walls creaked. A single flyer fluttered off the counter. I left immediately.
