Some days are just not yours

<McKenzie's>
Zack whistled as he straightened the discount signs. "Battle
Zone! We're warring against high prices!" the poster screamed at
him. The singed edges and bullet holes in the poster added just the
right touch for the damaged merchandise sale, he thought.
He walked over to the glass double-doors to tack on
the "Couldn't get it cheaper with an automatic rifle" sign, when a
commotion over at Parrots caught his eye. Tara, the woman Cubie had
hooked up with the Tria AI, and Phil were apparently locked in mortal
combat with Allie, the hologram with excellent taste in
holoclothing. Zack noted the excellent durability of Allie's
clothing. Despite several yanks that would have destroyed the seams
of a lesser garment, Allie remained not only decent, but fashionable
as she tried to kill Tara. Zack smiled, proud to be marketing such a
quality product.
The fight managed to return to the interior of Parrots. Then
security arrived to quell the disturbance. Tom, Dick, and Harry
loomed over the doorway, and Penny Lloyd peered in the door past them.
~What is she leaning on? Is that a . . .~
The grenade launcher fired, and everything went into slow
motion. Zack's eyes bulged as the grenade spiraled through the air
straight toward him. "Oh, no. Not again!" Zack turned and dove for
cover behind the shopping carts.
There was a loud 'BONNNGGGG!' followed by a moment of silence.
Zack cracked an eye, fearing that his trip to eternity was going to
be in the smoking section.
He was still in McKenzie's. Either he was still alive, or the
afterlife was going to be a bit more unusual than he'd envisioned.
Then he remembered - grenade-proof glass. Security had installed it
as part of the repairs. Zack flopped on his back in relief.
There was an explosion from somewhere outside the store. He
stood, brushed himself off (noting with mild annoyance the new
scratches in the chrome) and peered out the doors to see what had
been destroyed by the errant ricochet.
McDonald's was in flames.
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" Zack dropped to his knees,
weeping. "Not again!"
