From The Comments: Meowbag

The last vendor arrives when the others have gone, and sets his stall between the mists and the road. The primary gods are leaving the market with their finds. They hold the perfect souls to the light, admiring the lives they will lead. Peace prize winners are always popular. Saints and martyrs are making a comeback.

The after-hours vendor sets out his wares. There are tricksters, artists, murderers, souls with bloodstains, souls that are torn, souls dusty and beaten from travel. The gods of few believers will come and pick through them soon. There are always bargains to be had.

Has the feeling of a Neil Gaiman story.
