Magic Cup part 2

As I entered, the first thing I noticed was how spacious it was. It seemed much larger than it did on the outside. The second was that no one else was in the store. No customers, and no employees. It was as though everyone had vanished. I set the bag containing my earlier purchases down, and approached the counter. I raised my voice slightly, saying “Hello? Is anyone there?”. Glancing down at the counter, I noticed a small bell, with the standard “Ring Bell for Service” card next to it. I rang the bell once, twice, three times with no response. I turned around to head out the door, when something struck the door! The force of the concussion blew the glass out of the windows, shattering the panes into millions of razor sharp fangs. It was then I noticed what had hit the door. The last thing I remember seeing from that time was a pair of bright lights growing ever larger, merging into one as the bus I had been waiting on destroyed the tiny shop, and headed towards where I was standing.
