I was on my way to the grocery store wearing my favourite skinny blue jeans, with a complimenting cotton white sweater, my pastel pink trainers with clean white laces and of course a dark blue coat to complete the outfit.

The long wide pathway seemed to be never ending as I strolled along. I could feel the frigid breeze gently moving my [H/L] [H/C] hair from side to side. The sun waved from across the sky attempting to get my attention as my focus was completely on the solid concrete pavement. I stared at the pavement blankly because I was trying to avoid eye contact with the drivers passing by in the nearby road.

Finally, I had reached the grocery store. I picked up the fresh green basket and went on inside. I knew the reason behind why I was here today. I wanted to create an outfit inspired by Dazai's outfit from my favourite anime Bungo Stray Dogs. I already had a sand coloured jacket, a black top and a white top to go underneath but there was a very important detail missing which were the iconic bandages. I must get those bandages! As I walked over to the medicine section I began scanning the area for the bandages. "Aha! There they are! Hmmm let's see...this one's a 5 pack and this one's a 10 pack...maybe a 10 pack would be enough-"

As I was trying to pick out a good set of bandages I noticed a hand swiftly grab the 10 pack set of bandages. As I looked to the right it was a very tall man with a slender body. As I was trying to analyse his apperance he was long far gone into a different aisle. "Hmm. Well I guess that I'll also grab the 10 pack of bandages" I grabbed the pack and began walking over to the self checkout section.

My [E/C] eyes started to wonder around as I waited in the seemingly long queue. All of a sudden I heard a store worker shout out "Sir, if you don't have the money then you simply cannot buy anything here!" As I turned to see who she was referring to I could see the same slender and tall man looking rather confused. "I have the money! Here!"

I see him hand over a wallet filled with some cash but not a lot it seemed like he wasn't too wealthy.

The store worker stared blankly at the wallet before releasing words which I didn't expect 'This...this is Japanese Yen! This isn't Japan Sir!" The man's eyes widened "You don't accept my money here? Where am I?"

The young women sighed. "Sir, it seems your either not in the right state of mind or you are pranking me but we are in [insert the country you live in]."

The young man seemed to enter a state of grave shock as he left without a word leaving the bandages at the store.
