A random bystander watches the crowd as he casually walks around the market. The look in his eyes filled with worry, but he remained calm and casual as he took an apple in his hand and placed it into the group of bell peppers. He then left the markets, never to be seen for another few days.

A lady came to the market to do some groceries. She visited various parts of the market in search of some fruits and vegetables taking a few a of each kind. She came into the bell pepper section and took one of each color, then she was on her way home. On her way home, alone, a man approached her asking if he could look at her purchased items. She reluctantly agreed, then he brought out a gun and pointed it at her. He demanded that she eat one of the bell peppers she bought. To prove that nothing bad is going to happen to her, he took one of the bell peppers from her plastic bag and ate it. Now he demands that she does the same. She slowly brought out the green one and reluctantly ate it in front of him. It tasted like an apple, as it was rather sweet. It was rather delicious for her that she unintentionally consumed it to the last bite. The man placed back his gun into his coat and threw a few cash in front of her. He then apologized and left without anymore reasons. Silently saying "mission accomplished".

She was baffled, puzzled, and shocked at the same tine at what had just happened. She had some many questions. Far too many, but she can't analyze or grasp the incident. It was traumatizing for her. Yet she was determined to go home and just forget about it altogether. A few days later, she went to buy a journal and started writing her daily life after that traumatic incident a few days ago.

a few days ago I went to the markets. It was just an ordinary day that had turned extra ordinary. I mean I just came to buy fruits and vegetables. Nothing else. I had done my groceries and was on my way home, when I was approached by a man. He seemed to have this shady look and I rather avoid him altogether, but his is the only standing obstacles between myself and home. He slowly came a few get away from me and, as he got closer, he had a gun pointed at me. I started to worry. He looked at my groceries and, me thinking that I'm not worth the money, hoped he would let me go, instead he made me eat one of my produce. I was baffled and somehow questioning on why would someone trying to rob me demand I eat one of my own purchased goods. He watched me took the first bite out of the green bell pepper I had in my hand and it surprisingly tasted like an apple! Someone must have placed the apple in the wrong group. He then smiled, placed his gun back into his coat, apologized, and tossed a huge sum of cash in front of me then left. That was the weirdest incident I had ever experienced my whole life! Now here I am writing about it. Ever since that incident, I wanted to record every major event that may happen to me in the future for future use. Maybe if I end up needing therapy, I might have to show those notes instead. It could also be the major puzzle piece to my murder if that unfortunately happens to be the case.
