It was surprisingly easy to get lost in this store! The shelves were tall, densely stocked and tightly packed, and they cast eery shadows under the dim incandescent light. Devon kept wandering around among them, assuming he'd eventually run into Dom, Erk and Blaise at some point, or at least find the exit. It was easy to lose track of time in here; Devon wasn't sure how long he'd been wandering. He certainly found some curious things as he went. There were collars and bridles of various sorts and sizes, food for ducks and geese, all sorts of pet supplies, but also pets. He passed by fish tanks and bird cages. There were little habitats with mice and guinea pigs. Most of it was standard pet store fair, but you never knew what you were going to see from one shelf to the next. One of the weirder items was self-proclaimed "dragon food". There was also something called the "insta-pet collar", whatever that was.
As he browsed the merchandise, Devon started to feel off somehow. At first, he couldn't place it. There seemed to be a bit more of a chill in the air, he noticed. It didn't seem like a big deal, so he didn't think much of it. When he scratched an itch on his chest, it seemed that he shouldn't be contacting so much of his bare skin, but he was too distracted looking at a colorful kind of fish he'd never seen before. In fact, he didn't notice anything really and truly wrong until he leaned up against a shelf and felt its bare metal all along his back and against his bare buttocks. That's when Devon looked down and saw that he wasn't wearing any of his clothes, not even his shoes. He gasped and tried to cover his dick, and looked around. There wasn't anybody to see him. What would the other guys say if they found him and saw him naked? How had he managed to get out of all of his clothes without even noticing? Would the shopkeeper witness his indecent exposure and summon the police? Devon didn't want to find out!
Devon started backtracking his steps trying to find his garments, but still occasionally managed to get distracted with some of the pet supplies. It actually felt kind of refreshing to walk around naked, or at least not as wrong or embarrassing as he thought it would. He almost kind of wondered what the big deal was about being naked in public. But he knew intellectually that it was wrong and kept hoping he'd find at least some of his clothes, especially since he'd paid more than eighty dollars for those shoes he'd lost.
