The Thief
It was April 29, 2003, in Highwall. “Help us!” The people screamed. They were hoping for their superhero t o come save them. The bank was being robbed by a man with a black mask and a gun. People ran to the exits. A shot was heard. Everyone turned around to see a hole in the roof and the man waving his gun in the air. Rubble rained down on to the robber. “Get down on the ground!” He yelled. Everyone complied. “Now, toss your phones to me,” he said. Everyone compiled once again. You could hear skittering across the floor, as the phones were slid to him. The man stashed the phones in his bag and began stuffing money into his bag. “You won’t get away with this,” someone says. “Are you sure about that?” The robber says. “Our superhero will stop you!” A woman cries. “Will he now?” The robber says. He pulls off his mask to reveal a young man with a face everyone knew. The superhero threw his mask away, grabbed his bag of money and ran away. He nor the 347.94 billion dollars he stole were ever found again.

For this set piece, I tried to practice description, plot twist, and humor. The description is placed throughout the story and plot twist and humor comes towards the end of the story, and I liked writing this way because it is new and it is not as depressing and weird as my some of my other set pieces.
