Chapter 2 - unusual items

i hopped out of my car and locked it as i was walking to the sliding doors of the shop to pick up a small metal basket. as i walked in i could feel the cold air of the air conditioning hit me in the face, if i wasn't awake before i definitely am now. inside the shop was pure silence other than the quiet music coming from the radio behind the tills. 

i walked down the first isle which contained fruits and vegetables because i fancied a watermelon at that moment in time. i was so busy paying attention to the shelves of the fridge looking for my juicy melon that i didnt even realised i had walked into something hard. 

it was only when i heard someone shouting hello at me that i realised the 'something hard' was actually a person. this person caused me to come out of my little food trance.

"hellooo, miss are you okay?" the person said. i looked up at them to realise they were actually a tall and quite handsome young man, possibly in his 20s? he has jet black hair and must have been over 6ft tall, he was wearing a casual yet smart outfit and can i just say it suited him.

"huh? oh yeah sorry i wasn't really paying too much attention to where i was walking, i thought the shop was empty." i stuttered while rubbing the back of my neck awkwardly.

"i could tell" giggled the man. i peeked over into the basket he was holding and realised he had picked up a very strange array of items, well especially for this shop, and honestly i didn't even know the shop sold them. his basket contained a silver hammer with a black rubber handle, a silver hatched with a wooden handle and some rope.
