World Weavers' Championship

We are officially at the halfway mark. I suppose I should finish writing the rest of the prompts...


Prompt Five

Trade is a necessity in any society. It would be impractical, if not impossible, for a single household to provide for all its needs from production to consumption. A market is a place for people to trade for what they need, either through barter or using currency, although there are a lot of different kinds of markets too.

Write a scene which takes place in a market or fair.

Things to consider:
What kind of market is it? Who is selling what?
Where does the market take place? Why in that place?
When is the market held? Is it often or regularly or less frequently like a seasonal fair?
Why are the characters at the market? What are they trying to find? It might not be what is for sale, but something else which can be found at a market (like full pockets!)
