The Forgotten Library. Content Warning.
Deep within the heart of a bustling city, tucked away between towering skyscrapers and crowded streets, there stood a forgotten library. Its grandeur and beauty were hidden from the world, its doors locked tight, and its shelves filled with dusty books longing to be read.

A Moment Of Beauty
The soft, warming rays of the setting sun filled the sky with bedazzling allure. The seductive fragrance of Jasmine hung in the air. The sound of the surf caressed my sensitive ears, like angels cavorting across wonderous waves. It was an astounding vision, a moment of beauty, that only nature could create. One second too soon, one second too late, and all would be gone, forever.

The inside job
I was nervous as hell that day. It had all been arranged. As one of only three senior executives with access to the strong room combination, I was alone out back with Christmas takings of over $2.5m in used notes awaiting cash-in-transit collection. The heist mob agreed a cut of $250,000 to me as the inside man. The plan was for the heavies to arrive at exactly the moment I opened the walk-in safe. Two men inside the safe and one outside, holding me up with a gun to the head. Just for appearances of course.

Super plasma powered heist (or 3 Ghosts)
Her death is not quiet. It is a violent quaking of nerves being strung out like uncooked bucatini noodles and then boiled in scadling oil, crispy. The plasma building up in my core was too much to keep inside. The sun’s gravity can’t hold it down. Why should I?

The Night Watch
I had plenty of time to think about it during those long night shifts. In the end, I couldn’t believe how easy it was. As a security guard at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, I had access to all areas. It took less than twenty minutes during the evening lockup. I slipped into the gallery, carefully razoring the painting out of its frame, before replacing it with a beautifully crafted fake. It would not fool anyone taking a closer look, but it gave me time to get away.
