The Henry Stickmin Collection: My AU part 1

Robbing the Bank

Henry found himself face-to-face with a towering wall protecting the bank, his intended target. The wall stood tall and menacing as if daring him to try and breakthrough. Worse yet, it appeared to be falling apart at the seams, as if nature itself sought to thwart his mission.

But Henry was not one to be deterred. With a quick mind and an even quicker reflex, he concocted a daring plan. With a sly grin, he grabbed a bag of money and deftly slipped into its depths, concealing himself within like a cunning chameleon. He lay in wait on the side of the road, the desert barren and unforgiving around him. Sweat gathered on his brow as he waited, each second ticking away like a ferocious heartbeat.

Finally, the moment arrived. A truck, humongous and imposing, rolled into view. Henry's excitement ignited like tinder-kissed fire, his plan coming to fruition. The truck's occupants opened the back, revealing a treasure trove of riches. Henry seized the chance and expertly slid into the truck, unnoticed by the men.

"We lost one?" Inquired one of the men, his tone tinged with suspicion.

"Yeah, I guess," the other replied, his voice carrying the weight of nonchalance. Henry exhaled in relief, everything going according to plan.

As the truck journeyed on, Henry's mind raced with possibilities. He would get away with the perfect crime. Riches beyond his wildest dreams awaited him, freedom from the drudgery and monotony of everyday life assured.

But oh, fate is a cruel mistress. As he hopped out of his bag, his smirk turning into a smile of triumph, he felt a pinpoint of light brush against his skin...a laser! The alarms blared so loud it felt as if his eardrums would burst like a piñata. As the law officers converged on him, pointing their weapons, Henry could only shake his head ruefully, knowing that he had been caught red-handed. The thrill of adventure now turning to bitter regret, he whispered to himself, "Well, this didn't go according to plan."
