Staring at people passing by, I was looking for my target.<br \/>&nbsp;I narrowed my eyes and spotted an old man whose legs were shaky. He needed a walking stick for support. He was bald and his face seamed with wrinkles. &lsquo;I bet he doesn&rsquo;t have any money, and he might hurt me with his stick! I&rsquo;d better not bother him.&rsquo; I thought, and quickly resumed my scanning in the corridor.<br \/>&nbsp;I noticed a sinister looking man with a red scar on his brow. His pockmarked face was shining with sweat. He was holding a lot of shopping bags. &lsquo;Should I go for it? He carries so many things. Wait a minute.&nbsp; Why is he perspiring? He must have fought. I&rsquo;d better not steal his things,&rsquo; I murmured. <br \/>&nbsp;A second later, I observed an elegant lady from the crowd who was dillydallying. &lsquo;A-ha! You are my golden opportunity.&rsquo; Without a second thought, I stood up and started to approach her. Suddenly, the woman turned around with her phone. Her face was so fierce. I stopped immediately and went back to my seat. My heart thudded heavily.<br \/>&nbsp;I would carefully choose my target this time. Two young ladies caught my sight. They were as weak as a cat. Their expensive bags caught my eyes. I jumped out of my seat and stealthily advanced towards them. They look prim and proper, I bet they must be wealthy,&rsquo; I thought.<br \/>&nbsp;My body started to feel excited, my muscle contracted. I took a deep breath to calm down. Once I got ready, I started my plan.<br \/>&nbsp;I bumper into them.&rsquo; Oh&hellip;.. I am so sorry about that,&rsquo; I apologized&nbsp; and deliberately knocked down their bags. I &lsquo;kindly&rsquo; helped them pack their things, one object after another. Sneakily I put my prey into my pocket. When I finished my mission, I raced to the exit.<br \/>&nbsp;I heaved a sigh of relief. I cleared the sweats on my forehead and hid. I took out my prey. They beamed. Taking a thick pile of money out from the wallets, I counted them one by one. Out of the blue, there was just only $320 in total! I barked up the wrong tree.<br \/>&nbsp;I felt disappointed as I had a great expectation of stealing lots of money, hoping to take revenge. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Wandering aimlessly in a shopping mall, I was enjoying the chilly air-conditioning and sat sown in a vacant table in a caf&eacute; opposite to a CD shop.
