Whoa, Ominous

We are fearing for the safety of our store tonight. Some dude came in today close to closing time to "check out" our store for sacking, or so my dad said. He was pretty freaked out, and we promptly moved all our tobacco stocks upstairs for safekeeping. Our security system had being malfunctioning for the past week, so we are staying on our toes tonight. While dad was arguing on the phone with the security system support, I decided to string together my shinai, which I had previously taken apart for maintenance. Just in case I needed something to wack with you know. That's when it happened, my shinai handle's support string broke. I suppose it was just obeying the laws of physics, it was pretty old, and had taken ton of abuse. However, you know how in all the stories, when bad things are about to happen, strings break, porcelains crack and all hell breaks loose? That's when my heart sank. By the way, I have my last exam of the year tomorrow. I'm sitting here trying to study for it, and all I can think of is how to react in case bad things start to happen. How am I supposed to study like this? Maybe the omen is really meant for my exam, rather than the fate of our family security? I sure hope so.
