The Empty Shelves Nightmare

Torrance & Tustin, a 34-year old set of African-American identical twin brothers, from Irvine, CA, moved to Irving, TX because they got sick & tired of the Southern California politics, corruption & Hollyweird, the California wildfires, people acting unruly, empty grocery store shelves & the rise in the cost of living. They also feared the "BIG ONE" earthquake. It was Tustin's idea to move. They thought they could escape hell.

Once they moved to Irving, TX, they thought they would be safe. They bought a 4-bedroom house together, hoping that they could each find a wife. They both ran an online business together.  Things didn't go as planned. After they successfully bought the house & furniture, they decided to go grocery shopping. They wasted gas, going from Kroger to Kroger. From Walmart to Walmart. 

They went into 1 Kroger store, & it was SO crowded! People were panic buying. Torrance asked his twin brother, "Man, bro! What is it? Is it  like Black Friday the Sequel up in here?" Then, he imitated a Jamaican accent, saying, "What it do, mon!?" There were 2 packs of toilet paper & 1 single roll of paper towels left on 1 shelf. A Caucasian male customer angrily jerked the roll of paper towels out of Torrance's hand, saying, "Mine!" 

Torrance asked, "What, mon'! Are you a toddler?", impersonating the Jamaican accent again, trying to be funny. 

The narcissistic male Karen said, "NO, I'm old enough to be your father, but damn it! EVERYTHING in this store is MINE!" 

The man proceeded to go around, snatching other customers' items out of their arms, putting them into his own grocery buggy. Some of them had a stunned look on their faces. Eventually, he snatched a big bag of dog food out of another Caucasian man's arms, & the 2 got into a scuffle. The bag was ripped apart, & the dog food fell on the floor. Some of the nearby shoppers slipped & tripped over the dog food. Others were standing around, laughing & filming. 

The twins shook their heads & said, "Yo! We gotta get on up outta here! It's like an apocalyptic mayhem scenario up in here. Like pandemonium!" 

Tustin was driving, & Torrance said, "Eh, mon! Why dey do dat dere"? (Hey man, why did they do that there?) 

Tustin said, "I don't know what's going on, man! All I know, (pfft!) is that there's no time for jokes & pokes! I thought we left 1 hell, & now we've entered into another kind of hell."

Torrance quit mocking the Jamaican accent & said, "I know, bro. We gotta find some sort of alternative, or something. This is all Biden's fault. I know you hate discussing politics & all, but it is what it is. Let's Go, Brandon!" 

Tustin laughed in a high pitched female voice, sounding like a hyena. He said, "Bro, like. We thought it was just Cali. It's all over. Next thing you know, the government is going to claim that there's an AIR shortage. We need to find an alternative to grocery shopping, like foraging for our own food, hunting, fishing, etc. Let's do this ol' school."

The got back to the house with 1 bag of chicken leg quarters & some honey mustard sauce. The next door neighbors blessed them with an abundant food care package! The twins were AMAZED! In the package, there were some organic gardening seeds, soil & supplies, also. They started gardening. 

The twins were living the secular, worldly lifestyle. Times got tougher & harder. The always blew off or mocked people trying to invite them to church or share the gospel with them. The neighbors shared the gospel with them, 1 last time, before they became Christian believers. Times became so hard that they had nobody but Jesus Christ to depend on.
