Donovan looked at the man’s cart and back at him. The stranger was wearing a bright, multicolored, Nike, wind runner jacket with an orange Underarmour shirt peeping through the top, and baggy, ripped jeans. Don couldn't see the man’s shoes, but with the information provided, he could guess that they were probably just as bad. The stranger had sharp hazel eyes that raced around looking at everything and black bedhead that actually wouldn’t have been the worse thing about him if it wasn't streaked with white stripes. But, if this man’s quirky fashion style wasn't enough to make you question him, then if one would simply look towards his cart, they would be reassured that this man, was in fact, a nut job.
