Entry #3

Megan pushed her shopping cart along aisle 6, not one she would go through frequently, but it was the fastest shortcut to the cashiers. As she walked on, she saw something drop out of the pocket of the man a few feet in front of her. She called out to him but it seemed that he didn't hear her as he kept on going further away. She didn't want to shout louder so as to not to attract any unwanted attention so she walked faster to pick up whatever it was. It seemed that he was heading for the cashiers also so she'd just meet him there.

When she came up to the item, she saw that it was a piece of paper – no doubt the man's shopping list. Just as she was picking it up to return it to him, she accidentally saw what it contained, and stopped in her tracks. It was a shopping list, as she initially thought, but not really what you would expect. Again she read what was written just to make sure she read it right:

milk

tea leaves

pig's blood (x10 bags)

arrows (short) x30

tissue paper

stain removal

Peia'dorne sacrificial dagger – from 'Elmo'

spit of Gashugnii demon

AA batteries

She looked at the man who was already checking out at the cashiers.

Maybe, she thought, she does need that extra detergent after all. She left the paper on the floor, and casually turned to find it at the other end of the store.
