Story Fragment #19: Agatha

When Agatha went to the flea market, she never expected to see so many unusual objects and people. One of the first things she noticed was a mime wandering among the shoppers. Not really all that strange, she supposed--until you noticed that all he was wearing was a pair of rubber underwear.

The next thing that caught her eye was a booth selling candy pigs. They were molded in pink chocolate, right down to their little curly tails. She snapped a picture of the entire booth, then bought a dozen of the cute little porkers to take home.

The next aisle was even more bizarre, not to mention sinister. One seller advertised poisonous bunnies, claiming to have blended the DNA of a rabbit and a rattlesnake. To demonstrate the rabbits capabilities, the seller put a rat into the cage. The rabbit immediately opened its mouth, displaying large fangs, which it sunk deep into the rat. Within seconds, the rat convulsed and died. With a shiver, Agatha hurried on her way.
