Simple Things Can Change Complex Minds (random story)

The sounds of angry police grow louder as I flee from the scene. There is no way they will catch me, I am too sneaky, too slick; too cunning. "Where is he?"yelled one of the cops. You will never find me. The night sky and dark alleys are my camoflauge. "There is no way he could have gotten far!"yelled another police officer. I am close by but none of you will ever find me. I am known as the Shadow Thief. Whenever I steal, I hide in the darkness, it hides my pale white body, black hair and aqua blue eyes. Today is the best steal I have had in years. "What did he rob?"asked a slim woman on the street. "He stole my valuable medallion and a golden lion statue!"said a crying merchant. The Medallion of Chaos and the Golden Lion of Courage; they are both worth about $2 million each. As I go underneath a bridge I hear gunfire, someone has spotted me! "It is him! The Shadow Thief!"shrieked a woman. The moonlight has given away my hiding spot so I must move quickly. Another bullet is shot, this one centimeters away from my head. "I am to quick for you!" I yell triumphantly. As I clutch onto my bag of valuables I spot an alleyway. To the left of the alleyway were stairs. Quickly I run up the stairs while dodging flying bullets. I find myself on the roof of an apartment building. I am trapped! There is no way I can jump to the next building unless I can fly and there are no vents that I can hide in. I hear the police climbing up the steps with happy laughter. They know I am trapped as well. Surely this cannot be the end of me, the Shadow Thief. "Hey over here!"I hear a voice whisper from bellow me. I look down to see a trap door with someones head sticking out. Can I trust this person? Without thinking twice I go with the person, a young little girl with curly brown hair and green eyes. "That is impossible! He has disappeared!"I hear some police say above me. They must be blind if they cannot see the trap door. Then again that door looks like the floor itself. As I follow the little girl she tells me about herself. "My name is Katie. I am 12 years old and I live here with some other street orphans"she says. The poor girl, she was dressed in rags as well as the other children. As I still clutch onto my valuables items greedily I begin to think. These children live a life of crime like me. I steal for excitement and danger but these children steal for survival! I watch as they share a loaf of bread between themselves. "Would you like a piece, Shadow Thief?"asks Katie. I was surprised that she knew who I was, but then again who didnt know me? I gladly accepted a small piece of bread. "Will you teach us how to steal like you do?" a little boy asked. I thought about is question and then said"No". Before he could say:Why not? I left through the trap door. All of the cops were still on the roof. They handcuffed me and took me away. My bag of treasure was down where the children were. They needed that more than I did. The next day I was to be executed in the town square for everyone to see. I had let myself get caught, I the greatest thief. As I spent my first and last night in a dungeon I kept thinking about the street orphans. I looked out of my bared window to see the orphans there. "Why?"they all asked. "You will get your answer in the town square at sunrise"I said lying in my cold and hard bed. The next morning as the sun was slowly starting to rise I was awaken by a key unlocking my cell. As the police tie me up and march to the town square with guns at my back, I noticed the street orphans again. I stop to look at them and say"You should look for a family that will love and take care for you, not live a life of crime...that is why" I continue walking to where Im supposed to go. As the cops force me to kneel down I hear "Hail the Shadow Thief!". I laugh my last laugh before a bulky masked man swings his axe across my neckending my life. Although it did not seem like it, I had died a happy man and a happy thief.
