Mannequin In The Show Window

The lights were out and the mannequins were still in the empty store

Leaving the cherry blossoms in full bloom along the Meguro River, I wandered around Nakameguro. There are a lot of trendy apparel stores around here. The store I stopped at was also a fashionable apparel store.

The store was dimly lit before it opened. There were no clerks in sight, just a bunch of flat-face mannequins standing silently behind the show windows. There was nothing moving in the store, and it was quiet. It was as if time had stopped.

As I looked around, I noticed a mirror at the back of the store. There was a reflection of a mannequin and my wife holding an umbrella beside me.
