City-wide yard sales made Ayako's head spin. In Japan, nothing of the sort existed, and it was something that she had yet to get used to. And she had been an American citizen for fifteen years. 

In the hour spent walking around, Ayako was disapointed that not a single item caught her eye. That was until she walked by a table with a sign that read 'Body Parts for Sale'. The table in question was completely bare.

"Excuse me," She said to the young woman who sat beside it, "am I reading this right?"

The woman peeled her eyes off of her phone, then looked at the sign. "Yep."

"Hmmm." Ayako was intrigued. She could have used a new pair of feet. Maybe hands and a set of bigger tits. But from the look of it, no more inventory existed. She asked nonetheless.

"More parts? No, sorry."

It was a shame, but despite the streak of bad luck, she said 'thank you', and turned around to find more unfortunate circumstances. 

"Oh wait!" The woman twisted her neck back and forth, scanning the grass around the camping chair she was in. "Ahh, right." She grabbed a box from under the table, and slid it out.

Inside was a rather attractive looking head, detached and awaiting a longing body. It's eyes were closed and wore a tranquil expression as if it were fast asleep.

"I was keeping this for myself, but...if you have the money..."

"I'll take it!" Ayako excitedly pulled out a hundred dollar bill from her purse and gave it to the salesperson. It had been a long time desire of hers to have an American head. She wondered who she could attract with a new look.

The woman held the exorbitant denomination, shocked. "Uhhh...that should do it. Thank you. Have..." Before she could continue, Ayako took the box and made her way down the street. There was a pep to her step. 

Luck had finally returned.
