I killed her with Kindness
Kim’s chocolate Obsession
“Hey Lisa!” Mona cries out, “listen to this.” “Oh God” Lisa whispers to herself “are you reading the obituary on the paper again?!” she cries out. “Oh come on! This one is interesting, just listen” she replies, “Fine” Lisa responds as she rolls her eyes. Mona begins to read, “Kim’s Obituary, July 18, 2020. Kim was a very kind and loving person, she was young and full of life. Kim had many aspirations but she never expected to die so young, I would like to share with you the cause of death. It was Monday morning two days ago, Kim was very excited about her 30th birthday, she woke up at 7am very unusual for her, but she knew everyone would be happy to see her and wish her a happy birthday at work. Mainly though she was excited because she would finally receive her $1,000,000 trust fund money, after 30 years of patiently waiting, the day had finally arrived and she made sure everyone knew about it at work, now don’t get me wrong I might sound annoyed but I had nothing against her neither did anyone else at work. Let me give you some backstory though, when I say she made sure to let everyone know, she did not hold back, as a matter of fact she had a “trust fund party” at her house the week before and invited every single one of us. As we walked in to her home we each got a small bag with a “present” inside, I will never forget about 20 minutes before we left the party, she decided to announce she was leaving the company and she let us know her birthday would be her last day, oh man was she right about that! “I want a chocolate cake and a beautiful party, now that you guys know it will be my birthday and my last day of work” she happily announced. When I got home I opened my so called present, inside there was a small vanilla cupcake with a note that said, “ since I will be leaving, and I will never have to see your ugly face again, I just want to let you know you won’t be missed,” with it there was a card for a plastic surgeon in which she wrote, “for your face…you’re welcome!” I have to admit I was extremely upset, I called a few of my co-workers to see if anyone else got the same note, and indeed she made sure to write a personal note to everyone. After a glass of wine and many thoughts of what I was going to say to her the next day, I finally calmed down and came up with a plan. Surprise, surprise the next day Kim called out which was perfect as I needed to present my plan to everyone else at the office, after explaining what my plan was to the team they all agreed the most logical thing to do would be to kill her…with kindness of course, so we decided we would each buy her a chocolate cake on the day of her birthday; well you see we all knew how much Kim loooved chocolate and she wouldn’t be able to help herself, her obsession was so big she might just want to eat all of it all by herself. For the next few days she decided she was taking a few days off, and of course Monday morning she showed up extra early, of course we were all ready waiting for her. We are a team of 20 people and each one of us bought her a small chocolate cake with the writing Happy Birthday Kim on it. Oh she was ecstatic! By the end of the workday she had eaten at least 10 cakes, I don’t know how she did it, but she did. Naturally she was not feeling too well and so she cleaned out her desk and left without even saying good bye, by night time I received a call from one of my co-workers to give me the news that Kim was in a food coma… literally, I didn’t mean to laugh but I just thought it was the funniest thing I had ever heard, I mean who is that obssesed to eat 20 chocolate cakes in one day?! Well Kim was one of a kind I guess. I hope my story didn’t bore you as it is not so much an obituary but more of a lesson, if someone is mean, kill them with kindness and you will suceed. Yes I know this is a long one but it was too precious not to tell, in the end I didn’t know much about Kim and she didn’t know me very well either, I just knew she thought I was ugly and I knew she had a guilty pleasure. “Wow, that is crazy… can she go to jail for that?”Lisa asks, Mona replies “I don’t think so, she technically killed herself.”

Speed, Greed, and the Dangerous Game of Revenge
There are some things in the world that are not just symbols of wealth, but become identities of power, arrogance, and obsession. The rare 1937 Bugatti is one of those things. The film begins with a grand and luxurious auction, where this legendary car stands on stage as the center of everyone’s attention. The auctioneer announces that it is one of the rarest cars in the world, with only two models existing globally. This announcement ignites greed in the hearts of every wealthy person present in the crowd. The bidding starts at thirty million dollars and keeps increasing moment by moment. Someone bids thirty-two, someone thirty-four, and finally the bid reaches forty-one million dollars. This final bid is placed by a man named Jack, who is in contact with his boss. On the surface, he appears to be a rich buyer, but in reality, he is working for a powerful and dangerous criminal. The Bugatti is not going to belong to him, but to his boss. At the same time, the film introduces us to two brothers—Andrew and Garrett. Both are world-famous and highly skilled car thieves. Luxury and supercars are their obsession, and they have stolen some of the best cars in the world. The reason both brothers are connected to the Bugatti’s path is because they want to steal this rare car. The Bugatti theft on the highway is one of the most thrilling scenes of the film. High-speed vehicles, jumping onto a truck using ropes, a shower of bullets, and the shadow of death—Andrew and Garrett risk their lives to steal the Bugatti. This is not just a theft, but a practical demonstration of skill, nerves, and madness. After the theft, both brothers celebrate, but this happiness does not last long. When they go to a man named Jimmy to sell the Bugatti, he refuses to buy it. Jimmy knows that this car does not belong to an ordinary person, but to a very powerful and dangerous businessman named Morrier. Morrier is not only a wealthy man, but also runs an entire criminal empire. Soon, Andrew and Garrett are captured and presented before Morrier. Morrier tells them his story—a journey that started from poverty, an empire built through crime, and an obsession with rare cars. For him, these cars are not just a hobby, but symbols of his power and ego. The theft of the Bugatti becomes a personal insult to him. Morrier gives both of them one chance to stay alive, but his condition is extremely dangerous. They must steal a 1962 Ferrari belonging to a man named Max—a car that is one of a kind in the world and worth more than millions of dollars. Max is a young but exceptionally intelligent business tycoon, and also Morrier’s old enemy. From here, the story moves beyond a simple theft and turns into a battle of minds. Andrew and Garrett form an entire team, including Stephanie, Devon, bomb expert Lane, and skilled race drivers. Every person has a specific role, and every mistake can lead to death. The character of Max adds more depth to the story. He appears to be a polite and successful businessman, but behind him is an extremely sharp mind. He is both impressed by Andrew and Garrett’s abilities and cautious of them. His Ferrari is not just a car, but his identity. The story takes a new turn when it is revealed that the real plan was never to steal the Ferrari. The Bugatti was merely a move, a trap—used to ensnare Morrier along with his arrogance. Andrew, Garrett, and Max were actually playing the same game from the very beginning, where the real target was Morrier’s treasure of rare and valuable cars. In the climax, speed, explosions, and intelligence collide together. A collapsing bridge, long car chases, betrayal, sacrifices, and finally Morrier’s fate—all symbolize that the game of power and greed ultimately ends in destruction. In the end, Andrew proposes marriage to Stephanie, Garrett finds love, and the team completes an impossible mission. But the biggest lesson remains that in this world, the most dangerous weapon is not a gun or speed, but the mind, patience, and the final move played at the right time. Final Question Is power really found only in money and weapons, or is true power hidden in the mind that silently turns the entire game around?
