Empty As My Soul

Went to the store to pick up my parents to go to the airport.  It was empty; no customers were there.  Now, the store isn't exactly jumping these days, but there was a creepy stillness there.  My parents keep saying business isn't good anymore; feeling this isn't a good sign, and it makes me scared.

After dropping them off at MSP I do what I usually do after I drop them off at MSP: I go hang out at the Mall Of America.  It was dead there, too.  It is a holiday, but this is the last weekend before the kids go back to school, and it's the death of summer, so there have to be people who want to shop.  Not so; the entire mall was about half as crowded as I thought it would be.  Where did everybody go?
