Karma

Ash

I made it to the corner of a large building and hid myself behind the brick walls.
There was barely a moon tonight which was a good thing.

Inhaling a short breath, I took one step out but withdrew back in.

Uh ok I'm not ready. Uh..

"Hold it right there mister." My startled self jumped up three feet.

"Fucking shit." I thought it was a police officer, but instead it was a person wearing all black.

There was a small mask hiding her nose and mouth, and only her eyes revealed.

"Wrong side. It's the other door." The voice was young and girlish so I assumed it was a girl.

But what was a young girl doing here this late at night?

Stop being stupid. What's a 'young' boy doing huh?

Well I—shut up brain.

"Are you....from around here?" Her words showed confusion and I looked down to realize I was still in my armor.

I didn't want to remember that. Lucky I waited until night or else everyone would've seen a person that looks like he cosplays.
I shuddered at the thought.

"Yeah I'm totally around here." I rolled my eyes.

I feel like a girl.
"Hide!" A force pulled me back suddenly as two police officers strode down while talking about donuts.

I breathed out in relief. How did I not notice that.

Without thanking her, I made my way to the back door.

Too bad this place has no windows for me to break in.
Yes, you heard me right.
I'm here to steal clothes.

The back door was completely locked. Too bad it wasn't wood so that I could burn it.
But again, who would have a wooden door for this place?

I ran my hands through the surface of the metal door.

With a punch—which I recommend no one try at home—I hit the center of the door.

A loud noise erupted from the metal and the skin of my hands slightly peeled off.

If only someone who had superhuman strength from my school came along with me.

The door barely made a dent and I internally yelled.

How would it be like if I was naked in the streets?

Nah, I'll get arrested.
But I'll also get arrested for doing this too.

"Move." The semi familiar voice ordered demandingly.

I swerved to see the same girl again. "Ayo why you keep following me? You're a girl. What can you do?"

She shrugged.
*click*

Dumfounded, I looked down to see that she was able to open the back door.

"Nevermind." I murmured, shoving my hands into my pockets and walking in first.

Fuck the ladies first rule.

"Wait." She whispered.

I ain't waiting.

"Wait!"

Who is she. Get out of my way like damn.
Why are we casually chatting? It's obvious she's a robber too.

I took another step and she pulled my collar back.
Digging into her pocket, she pulled out powder and flung it out.
