The Robbery

          Matt was sweating behind the ski mask as he walked into the Dunkin Donuts. He pulled out his gun and shot one bullet into the ceiling. People screamed and took cover, some running for the door. Matt ignored them, striding towards the cash register, pointing the gun at the terrified Indian woman behind the counter menacingly.

          "Give me the money, old woman..." He made his voice sound gravelly, deliberately making the change. She glared at him as she opened the till. He grabbed a bag from behind the counter, a paper bag, and handed it to her, all the while keeping the gun on her.

          The woman was taking forever! He pushed her aside, and loaded the bag with the cash register's contents. The woman uttered a strange sounding word, and as Matt heard it, a strange tingling feeling went through his body. He shook it off, having gotten what he had come for. He ran out of the door, tearing the mask off as he jumped into his car.

          He drove away, slowly so as not to attract attention to himself. He drove home to his small decrepit house, and parked behind the house. He then took the bag, and walked into his house after opening the door with his key. He emptied the contents of the bag on his stained coffee table, counting the money with a grim expression. He fell asleep shortly later, the adrenaline having worn off.
