Discussing Digital Retail Consumer Experiences

By Anna Baker


Oh, where do we begin. When you have been buying any kind of gadgets for the past eight years, you tend to get some crappy experiences before you get to those that actually are memorable in a happy light. And even then, there is no guarantee that they even count as good ones. There are far too many annoying customer services that put a stick in your jimmies. So these are our Digital Retail Consumer Experiences.

Judging from the line of empty cups, Sam was on her third espresso. The idea of approaching an armed Valkyrie with three espressos in her system was usually not advisable, but I walked up slowly and sat across from her. She did not look at me. Her attention was on the two raven feathers in front of her.

I led them back to my room. The three of us camped on the grass in the middle of my atrium. It reminded me of the old days, sleeping in Public Garden, but I am not going to tell you I was nostalgic for being homeless. Homelessness is not something any sane person would ever be nostalgic about.

It was not easy thinking about Lokis inheritance battling inside my two friends, trying to take control. Samirah laughed drily. Well, we cannot have everything. They remember nothing about Lokis visits. They know that Amir and I have made up. For now, all is well. I am back to making excuses about why I have to rush off in the middle of class or after school.

When he was still, despite his black clothes, he seemed to blend into the shadows of the grass. Maybe it was elf camouflage, a remnant of the time when those were one with nature. Blitz wedged his back against a tree and stared at Hearth with concern.We are going to Blitzens Best tomorrow, he told me.

Annabeth poked at the table with her fork tines. Her blond hair was loose around her shoulders today. She seemed to be growing it out. It caught the sunlight in a way that reminded me of Sif. But I tried to shake that idea. I knew Annabeth would destroy anyone who dared call her a trophy anything.

I thought about my Uncle Randolph. How did you decide when someone was irretrievably lost, when they were so evil or toxic or just plain set in their ways that you had to face the fact they were never gonna change? How long could you keep saving them, and when did you give up and grieve for them as though they were dead?

Sure, it was all still ridiculously crazy. If I stopped to think about it too long, I would start giggling like a lunatic. But I could tell Annabeth my problems without worrying that she would not believe me. It made me realize how much Sam must appreciate being able to be totally truthful with Amir.

And more. He also heard legends about the ship Naglfar. The place where it is docked, the Eastern Shores, lies on the border between Jotunheim and Niflheim, the wildest, most remote part of either world. It is completely inaccessible, locked in ice except for one day of the year, Midsummer.
