I went to a strange shop a couple miles from where I live called Treasure Bomb. It was full of tiny little figurines in tiny little bags. Thousands of bags hung on wireframe shelves. Some figurines were for key chains and cell phones. Some were for collecting. There was little toy cars and monsters and figurines from every manga/anime series imaginable. It hurt your eyes to look at them. I only saw one child the entire time I was there. There were lots of middle aged men browsing the tiny figurines. Many were collectors. I thought it was really cool that grownups would be passionate about something that only little kids would be interested in back in America. I was looking for an interesting keychain-- one that was unlike any of the others. I found a small statue that looked like a little idol. It was such a strong contrast to the colorful plastic figures next to it that I wondered whether or not it really was an idol from some ancient time that had accidently been put in a little bag and mixed in with the rest of the key chains. But it had this strange, creepy aura about it, so I didn’t buy it. I don’t think I could sleep in the same room with it. It was a very strange shop indeed. | 7 comments, Add Comment
