Walking the Mall

Walking the mall on a Sunday afternoon, sidewalk sales entice the crowds looking for bargains on their tight budgets, couples in love holding hands, shopping together and dreaming of new furniture, sounds of crying children in rented strollers echoing throughout the mall while stoic mothers push them from one shop to another, among the busy shoppers are the single and lonely people who walk the mall, looking for discounts among the scratched and dented sections of broken hearts.
