Denied

You reach out to pick up the loaf...but, inches from it, your hand stops.

You stand there, your arm frozen, a puzzled look on your face.

As you try to move your hand towards what you want, all you achieve for your efforts is a faint tremor in your fingers.

Frustrated now, you lower your arm. Doing this, it moves perfectly freely - but as you try reaching for a packet of rolls, exactly the same thing happens. In fact, it seems to happen whatever you try to take from the shelves.

You let out a moan of frustration that sounds alien to your ears, and let the shopping basket fall uselessly to the floor.
