It only took a moment

I retrieved a chicken and mushroom pie from the refrigerated display case, straightened up and turned to hand it to my coworker. Then suddenly it was silent and darker. "What?" I thought. The refrigerator ceased humming, the muzak instantly dissolved, and the lights were dim, and no one spoke. The power was out.

So we closed early and I went home.

(Apparently 152 people are experiencing the same power outage as the tea shop. The power went off around five thirty and I left at about six. Which adds another hour to my evening-- yay!)
