Among the usual groceries and gas cans on the checkout counter sat an old, dusty harmonica. As he picked it up, the harmonica played a single note—a perfect match for the hum of the pumps. Smiling, the regular asked the cashier if anyone had claimed it yet. ‘Nope,’ she said with a shrug.

Later that evening, while filling up his tank, he waved goodbye to an old neighbor who happened to be pumping gas next to him—completely unaware that their daily greeting had just become a bit more… prehistoric.
