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.
