Writing Prompt #13
Posted On 29 July 2022
Nefarious or beneficial acts? The choice is yours.
****
A thief in the city is causing trouble. They’re stealthy, in and out without raising any alarms. They seem to be able to get in almost anywhere they want to, and their work is so subtle that opinions are divided on whether they truly exist.
This thief doesn’t touch art, jewels, or the usual valuable items: they only steal items that impose a minor inconvenience on others. The head off the mop. The plate from the microwave. The laces from a favourite pair of shoes. The handle from a door. The charging cable for a specific device.
What could be their motive for taking the items? What are they hoping to achieve?
