The parking lot was empty except for an old sign on the door that read: ‘Closed until further notice—bring your own bandaids.’ The delivery driver knocked gently and called out, but no one answered.

With a smile, the delivery guy replied, “Just another day at Dodson Avenue—it’s like their motto is, bring your own everything!”
