The teddy bear sat perched on a rickety stool, its fur matted and worn. Emily felt a strange compulsion, a magnetic pull that she couldn't explain. Her hands were clammy, her steps quick and decisive.

She approached the table, her heart hammering against her chest. The other items faded away. It was only the bear.

“How much?” she asked, her voice barely a whisper. The seller, a child, shrugged. Emily didn’t haggle. She paid the asked price, cradling the bear as if it were a precious jewel, and walked away.
