The Criminal Who Got Away - At Least She Thought


In a world of bleakness, sometimes there is a light of hope

In my case, the light is coming from the police precinct across the street

 

If I were to describe my life it would be

a

series

of

disasters

that

ended

in

her

 

She is a mystical force that swept me up when no one else would

She is also the reason why I’m applying for this job

This dreadful job where I must conceal my identity

And my relationship with her

 

He introduces himself as Charming

The person in command

The person I must get to know

The person who scares me

 

because I have a secret that no one else must find out about

 

I am a criminal.

 

 

Once upon a time

A girl was left alone on the street because her father died and her stepmother hated her.

She thought she’d be alone forever until a fairy godmother took her home and cleaned her up.

Cleaned her up to become a criminal mastermind.

A mastermind who loved a man who could never love her mind.

A mastermind who is irresponsible and is sure to get caught.

A mastermind who thought she disappeared but left a clue behind.
