by now, you might have remembered why you're here, why there's such an exciting buzz in the air. today is, of course, black friday. and more importantly, the kmart ahead of you was chosen in a super-special corporate lottery by the most illustrious of companies. and therefore, the kmart in front of you is the only place the entirety of the country that you all have absolutely lived in that has the ultimate prize.
behold: Tiny.
you see, each year, only thirty-six of each beanie baby is released to each store. since this is the only store, that means that tiny the chihuahua, adorable eyes and poem on the tag and all, is the single rarest beanie baby on the market. and you all want that beanie baby. welt, seodore, chihiro - you all want that beanie baby. the problem is... so does every single other person in this line. you would think they'd be here for other black friday deals, but no.
it's all about tiny.
the countdown clock at the front of the store is just visible from your far back position. there's roughly ten minutes until the front doors open, and the three of you are absolutely not the first 36 people in this line. not that that necessarily means anything. you can strategize. you might still be able to bring home that chihuahua prize.
that thrum of excitement remains in the air. in front of you, a few people down, you an excitedly hear two parents talking about how much "little jiaoqiu would just LOVE to have a Tiny, i promised him!" and "did you see little char's halloween costume this year, with the tiny ears and the tag? bless her heart!" and someone else with a thick german accent describing the fact that his world class athleticism means he's guaranteed to be at the front as soon as the doors open.
this beanie baby is, as you know, a big fucking deal.
you've got about ten IC minutes to decide on your game plan, or even talk to some people around you. ]
