Prompt - A stranger walks into the general store and buys a hammer, a hatchet, some rope, and an apple. What’s up?

Thursday mornings at Dave’s General store are customarily uneventful. Mrs. Obermeyer will often walk across the street to buy some bread or eggs.  She lives so close that she often just buys what she needs when she needs it.  She inherited her house from her mother who inherited from her father.  It is likely the old red refrigerator came from the fifties or before and doesn’t have as much room as the modern ones do.

And it is not unusual to see Mike Collins pull in to fill up his coffee thermos after spending the morning milking his cows.  Dave could smell the manure on his boots as Mike made his way up the aisle to the three different brews. One that said Coffee, another that said, Decaf, and a final one that just said Fancy.  Which often had just the regular coffee? 

But today was different as Dave looked up to see somethings he was not used to seeing, a stranger. A small but fit woman walked in.  She was pretty and confident as she walked around the aisle of various goods. Dave watched as she carefully selected a hammer, a hatchet, some nylon rope, and an apple.

“What’s up?” Dave asked.  This wasn’t really a question but his standard greeting. “Can I help you find something?”

“Do you have a fruit dehydrator oh and also some cement?”
