Arthor: Jinx Jamison
The first time I stole something was on a dare.
I was fifteen and reckless, determined to prove I could be a bad ass. My best friend Jody dared me to take a pack of gum from the Handy-Mart. In retrospect, I’m surprised my bumbling effort didn’t land me in jail. It was hardly a covert mission but I did it.
I did it, I loved it and I’ve been stealing ever since.
Usually it’s something small, just enough to give me the rush. Over the years, I’ve graduated up to pickpocketing which requires a bit more daring and a lot more finesse. I’ve never gotten caught and I suppose that’s part of the thrill.
Every time I take something I have to wonder if this is the day my luck will run out.
This is the story of the day I stole from the wrong man.
