introduction

stories:

summer-walk:
The person was witnessed during a walk in the summer, originally thought to be a child from a distance.
His upperbody was naked, the only thing worn by him was a scruffy looking gray hood/hat with ears attached to it.
The hood was part of a jacket whose arms were tied around his upper torso and the hood had decorative animal ears attached to it.
On closer inspection it turned out be a an older guy in his 40s or 50s with a gray unkempt beard.
When being in the process of passing the man, he stopped and gave me a salute causing me to stop in turn.
He then proceded to raise his right arm and greet me: "Heil, wie gehts?"
He possesed an worn complexion and his skin looked unhealthy, causing me to procede on my way.

Thinking back to it, it might just be a sickly homeless person, possibly having gotten a heatstroke.
It did not need to be a homeless person and might have just been a excentric retiree that wandered into the city from a more expensive outside property.
They are generally friendly and helpful, and often outside of the influence of how cities tend to average people into some mode of behaviour, expression, clothing etc.

hair-loss:
A quiet person sititng hunched over on a chair, his face was quite red, but it was winter, so nothing out of the ordinary.
On said chair he clutched his head and either brushed of or tore out his hair, which he was rapidly losing.
I am unsure, if he was tearing it out himself or was removing what was already falling out on its own, he did not use a lot of force when removing the hair.
He generally proceded to just drop the small bushles next to him. There was no bad smell to him.

Instinct told, that it was best to avoid the man.
So maybe it was a medical affliction, but him tearing out his hair on his own might have been something psychological.
