Stuff I Wrote For School

Eye Witness Report

We had to do this eye witness report recently (Grade 10) and mine was highly inspired by JD from Heathers.

On October 12 2013, at around 4:00pm, I witnessed what has to be the most ridiculous robbery ever. A young man with short, dark brown hair, pale skin, and dark eyes who looked to be about seventeen years old, burst into the local Seven Eleven convenience store holding a large Super Soaker water gun. He was about 5'9 in height with a smaller frame. He was wearing a pair of jeans with a white t shirt. His overall appearance was disheveled, like he had just gotten out of bed.

The young man burst into the store pointing the water gun at the cashier, who had medium length blonde hair pulled back into a ponytail. She was wearing the standard Seven Eleven uniform and seemed rather small, about 5'4 with a tiny build. The man demanded the cashier back away from the register or else he would shoot. The cashier refused because it was only a water gun, but he continued to yell and eventually resorted to squirting the cashier repeatedly. The cashier gave in, annoyed and cold from the water.

I watched in awe, trying not to laugh as the man grabbed all the money out of the cash register, about $500.00 and shoved it all into his pockets. He didn't stop there however. The man proceeded to fill up six Big Gulp cups full of slurpee, brought them over to the counter, plopped down all the money he had just stolen, thanked the shocked cashier, and walked out casually, carrying all the cups in his arms and leaving the water gun behind.

It was so ridiculous because he didn't even have a real weapon, and if he was just going to give back the money, why did he bother stealing it? Perhaps he was a little crazy, or was dared to by his friends. There's no doubt about it, it was the silliest thing I've ever witnessed.
