Luck

Elliot gleefully walked out of his favorite comic book store, the Comics Castle. His hand gripped the newest edition of The Mischief Thief; sure his wallet was lighter but now he would know what would happen to the thief in the story. The plot had captivated him from the first page, a detective who became a thief to help out those in need. Elliot had always been interested in Robin Hood-esque heroes that lived by the code of helping the poor and eliminating those whose greed had caused the world to become rotten. Not wanting to wait any longer he dug his face into the pages as he walked back home, admiring the detail of the artwork. Being too enthralled with the pages, he didn’t see a man coming his way. With a sudden bump, the comic fell to the ground out of his hand.
