Rushing pass by few old huts, I grabbed on to a couple of robes that were hanging on laundry ropes and quickly put them on. The local old man, sleeping on, something that almost resembled a bench, didn’t notice the theft of his hat either.- I got away with it! Success! -I proudly stated, already claiming the victory.- Are they still chasing me?- I turned around to check up on my oppressors. With true passion for their profession, they were few meters behind me.

-Darn it! I can’t believe it. They usually give up after a 100 meters. This shockingly disgusting devotion is now annoying me! –Saying this I made a quick turn and to my relief I saw busy alleys of a trade market! - Fantastic! I will fit in right away! –I thought with a glimpse of hope. Few steps into what I thought was a perfect escape plan, I noticed the crowd was not moving. Something huge was blocking it. I elbowed my way through the crowd only to discover that a cart with a humongous pile of bundles was slowing everyone down. -That’s it! – I cried. – A pile of rubbish and an old man pushing it will finish my career as a thief. I banged my head against the tragic wall. Few mice startled by the blow, jumped from their hide-out and climbed to the top of the stack. Without wasting any more time I did the same. With few swift moves I was on top of it, safe and away from the justice. [ Weronika Nossowicz]
