Magpie A Story of a Thief

My name is Maya, and I am a ghost. I'm not dead, not by any means. My pulse proves it. But I drift from room to room, house to house, street to street, without anyone noticing. I don't want to stand out, it helps that I don't have to hide. People don't notice me when I take their wallets, when I slip a piece of jewellery into my possession. A dollar from the unsuspecting victim, a watch off of a wrist. I'm a ghost, I am alive, but to the rest of the world, I'm a non-existent existent being.

Hi, I'm trying to improve my writing skills, I'm trying my hand at a bit of Romance writing so this is my original story 'Magpie'. I appreciate helpful comments and constructive criticism. If you believe that I may be following anyone else's storyline or ideas then please let me know, this story is original but some parts may be cliche. Another note, this is my first time doing this, so please bear with me if you do decide to read it.

ALSO, this story doesn't have any real people, celebrities or politics, set on earth but doesn't exactly follow/contain all laws and events. All characters, places and events are made up.
