Four corners
Four corners thinking mini-mart. Like cool name for a mini-mart. Not just any mini-mart, but a mini-mart in a little area that is not even a village, not a town, just the stop at the one dirt road that has a one pump gas station and a mini mart. The mini mart is not connected to the gas station, though. It's run by some old person, it's wooden floorboards with a porch out in front and the old person sits in a rocking chair on the porch when there's no one in the mini mart, which is often. The one pump gas station is unmanned, so the old person just watches when people occasionally stop at it to fill up. If they're strangers, the old person watches them more. Not because they're unwelcome, but because they're more interesting to the old person. Where are they from, who are they visiting? Oh New York plate, and a suitcase in the back. That must be Lynne's granddaughter, heard she was home from college for the summer. But now she's on her way somewhere else, maybe ... maybe... I'm getting lost in the weeds. Back to the mini mart. Dusty wooden floors, dusty items on the shelf. Candy in jars by the counter. Old fashioned cash register.

Now you should use this image to start a novel and write episodes each day. Interesting!

This reminds me of a little shop I saw the first time I visited my mum's hometown. Love your descriptions 💕
