Harry goes shopping

~Before he went to Jesus~

It was a fine spring morning when Harry woke up. he looked at his clock. It read 8:30, only half an hour till the shops open. 

Harry wasn’t usually a big shopper but today was a special day. It was end of year sales. Massive savings, extreme bargains and super low prices. 

It didn’t matter what he bought. He’d buy a lamp if it was only $2. The saving mattered more than the practicality. 

Jumping out of bed he raced to get dressed and eat his breakfast. He still had a piece of toast in his mouth as he pulled on his coat over his bright green sweater (which nicely complemented his green orbs). 

“Goodbye Harry!” his mum shouted after him.

“Bye,” he shouted through his toast filled mouth and went off down the street. 

After about a 5 minute walk he arrived at the local shopping centre. It was quite grand in size. 

There were still a few minutes before the shops opened their doors and Harry was so excited, there would be so much crap that he could buy. 

There were crowds beginning to form around the front doors with eager people also looking for crap to buy. But Harry held his position at the front door and counted down the seconds.

“5, 4, 3, 2, 1… here we go,” he muttered as the doors were opened before him. He beamed inside of the shopping centre as he walked through into the nice temperature controlled space. 

Now that he was inside, Harry froze. Now what? What was he going to do now? What did he actually want to buy? There was no plan! This was a disaster! He wasn’t going to just wander around. He needed a plan and fast. 

“Ok Harry, think,” he thought to himself, “what’s the tackiest thing you can buy?”

He stood there for a few minutes thinking of everything which his mother frowned upon when he brought it home. Thinking, thinking, thinking… that was it! He’d get a lava lamp! And, and, and… wait for it, a hat! 

Heading over to the closest store he searched the shelves for his two items. Looking in the toys section he felt slightly out of place. A small child looked up at him. He had a bit of drool coming out of his mouth and it dripped onto his shirt. Harry tried to remain emotionless at the sight as he walked past the child and down to where he saw some lava lamps.
