The Thief
As the thief left the apartment, she couldn't help but smile to herself, feeling a sense of accomplishment and excitement. She had successfully robbed her mark, and the thrill of it all was exhilarating. She couldn't wait to return and see the look on his face when he discovered what she had taken. With her prize in hand, she headed off to class, leaving him tied up and gagged in his own home, wondering what she would do next.
As the days went by, the thief continued her routine of robbing unsuspecting bachelors in the city. Each time she found a new target, she honed her skills, becoming more cunning and daring in her methods. Her victims never saw her coming, and she always managed to make off with valuable items without leaving a trace. She became known as the "Ghost Thief" among the local police force, always one step ahead of them.
One day, while she was attending a lecture at the university, she received a strange text message on her phone. It was from one of her previous victims, the thirty-something fit male she had robbed a few weeks ago. The message simply read, "I know who you are." She felt a chill run down her spine as she read it, wondering if he had somehow managed to untie himself and discover her identity. She quickly dismissed the thought as impossible, but couldn't shake the feeling of unease that settled over her.
Despite her misgivings, the thief continued with her daily routine, visiting her other marks and collecting her spoils. But every time she thought of the mysterious text, she found herself glancing over her shoulder, expecting to see the fit male from before. It was only a matter of time before she would have to confront him and find out the truth.
