Thief

I look over my city from the roof I'm standing on. I watch the people moving in a rush to get to their destination. They all are converged together in a synchronic motion. Every once in a while someone breaks from the group to enter a building or go to a side street.

I pace the rooftops debating what to do. I could go through the crowd, but a small voice in the back of my head is saying that id ruin the tranquil chaos of the people. Although that has never stopped me before.

I decide to flip a coin to end my decisiveness. The coin decides that I should go through the crowd. Too bad. Tranquility will have to be broken. I found a ladder and climb down to an alley. The main street is not very far. I walk fast towards the hoard of people.

They pay little attention to my merging with the crowd. I walk through the crowd expertly taking peoples coin purses. I walk to the other side of the street putting my prizes in my satchel.

I make several passes of the crowd before I decide I have a sizeable amount. I make my way back to the alley, and skip the ladder. I decide to climb the wall of the building instead. Once I'm back to my perch to watch the ant-like people.

I admire my city one last time as the sun falls in the sky, and I take off running across the rooftops I know so well.
