A sum on money that is owed or due

It was about lunch time and I was casually walking through my local market. I walked past a fruit stand and when no one was looking, I stole a juicy looking red apple. Continuing walking, I suddenly saw a rather familiar face.
"Shoot!" I said as I turned on my heel and ran. I saw one of the people that I am in dept to. He was a middle aged man, cannot rememer his name though, with a full beard and mustache. He was rather rich and liked to brag about how rich he is to his followers. And were not talking about 100 yen in dept, were talking thousands...
I sprinted off and I guess the guy heard me because I quickly heard the sound of running and shouting begind me. I kept running untill I reached an alley way. I looked up and saw a old drain pipe and scurried up it.
Once I reached the top, I looked down and saw the man, looking very confused. I smirked knowing I lost him and looked at where I was. Turns out, I am ontop of some random house. Nice. I relaxed and watched the clouds for hours.
I must have fallen asleep because when I woke up, it was very dark. I climed down and pulled out my cheap phone to see what time it was. It said the time was 09:43 PM.
"I should get something for dinner," I thought as I walked through a deserted street.
After a while, I came across a small market with a few stalls. The one in particular that caught my eye was one with an old lady attending it. I walked up to it and looked at what she had on offer.

"Hi, can I please have 1 squid, chopped and cleaned?"
"Of course deary. Anything else?" She asked with a warm smile. I shook my head and waited patiently for her to pack my order. I looked at the rest of the store and saw a picture of who im guessing is her and her son.
"May I ask who is that in the photo there?" I asked curiosly.
"Oh, hes my son. Hes away on buisness in the US. Im very happy for him. I cant say for my other son. All he does is gamble and crash at my place," she complained as she finished up with my squid.
"And by the way deary, you are very beautiful. You would an amazing partner for him!" She exclaimed as she handed my bag to me.
"Umm.. Im sorry but im already with someone," I lied. This conversation was beginning to become very uncomfortable. She apologised and I payed for my squid and left without any further conversation. God that lady was weird!

Lone: The Wanderer [Dropped Version (includes original draft of the rewrite's first volume)]
Nine-to-five. The daily grind. Life. Painful years of school. Working as a slave for some undeserving corporate big-wig. The monotonous life of unemployment. We all experience this in one way or another, and we can all conclude one thing: it's dull. Such a fact rings true even for the fabled Lone Immortus, a powerful nine-tailed Golden Foxkin. However, what would you do if your monotony was suddenly ground to a halt and you were thrown out of your comfort zone along with a young girl forgotten by time? Perhaps you might have done things differently, been more organised, immediately died, gained control of the world in a matter of days, but this is Lone's tale, not yours. Watching two insecure people struggle to survive and find their place in an unfamiliar land just might be enjoyable to witness. Who knows? One thing's for certain: it won't be an easy path for them to tread, and what could possibly be more entertaining than watching people endure hardships and grow? I know of at least eight gods that would answer with, 'Absolutely nothing.' I wonder, after seeing this journey from start to finish, how would you answer? [Goal of 2 chapters per week, the only exceptions being announced breaks or emergencies] A/N: This story is in the middle of a rewrite, so please forgive any noticeable plot holes and wonky chapter numbers. I am working on it every day, so understanding would be greatly appreciated. The new cover art is a courtesy of the very kind and talented ssddx. This novel is a participant in The Writer's Pledge
