2018
I had Goosebumps covering my body, and beads of perspiration rolled down my face. Soon, darkness engulfed the atmosphere, as I trudged along the dirt path, desperate to find the hidden treasure of Bob the robber. The luminous glow on the pale moon penetrated through the web of dense leaves. I opened up my trustworthy map, which said that if I went straight, I would reach the cave which held the long lost treasury of Bob the robber.
Soon, out of the corner of my naked eye, I caught a glimpse of a cave. Already, a sensation of success swept through my body. As I entered, shadows quivered in the dark. I was a long wanted robber, with a prize of $200,000 for whoever caught me. Out of the blue, but in a drop of a hat, I saw a chest. It was the long lost treasure chest of Bob the robber!
I was on cloud nine, but in the chest was a note reading:
“You are not smart enough”
An alarm went off, nearly bursting my ears, and police sirens were to be head everywhere. A wave of pandemonium swept through my body, as I ran out, jumped on my bike, and sped off. Today was a failure, but next time will certainly not be. An insatiable sensation of hunger swept through my body, but I was determined to have a successful robbery to celebrate my last day of being a robber.
Soon, I shockingly saw a house with a Lamborghini Aventador Superveloce parked in front! I certainly am going to make a fortune! I got off my bike, smashed a window, took the key for the car, put my bike in the Lamborghini, and realized it was broken!
Two wrongs don’t equal a right, so I didn’t try again. Well, robbery was a bad thing after all.
