Theme #27 – Heavy


He had to hurry. They were closing in on him. He had to leave now if he didn't want to get caught. He realized that he was desperate by this point. He had no choice but to leave it. But, not without one final try.

He pulled and tugged and pushed and pulled again, but it just wouldn't budge. It was almost like it was glued to the stand. He tried rolling it, and – yes! – it moved. But then it kept rolling and he couldn't stop it. And it fell.

"OUCH!" he yelled, followed by a long string of curses and bouncing around on one foot while holding the other in his hands, trying to soothe the pain.

He heard footsteps up the stairs and decided to just leave the stupid diamond behind. He gave up on that particular heist and jumped out the window, flying away into the night, his foot still aching.

The next morning, the headline read: Ten Ton Diamond thwarts KID's attempt at burglary.
