They walked in the building calm and collected as could be. No signs of stress or concern. Looking around as if everything was fine but what they were really doing was casing the joint. Terry stood at the jewelry counter asking to see various diamond rings, bracelets, necklaces and platinum gold watches. As she slowly tries each on, making sure the jewelry case door stays open. John is across in men's wear filling his duffle bags discreetly. Tammy starts to yell at the cashier. “I want my money back” screaming. I want my money back! No! I don't have a receipt but I just bought it.
Drawing the crowd’s attention to the cashier, security rushes over as the lady behind the jewelry counter stops and take 2 steps to the right as she’s tries to hear Tammy and the security guards heated conversation. This chick is nosy, thought Felicia, reaching from under the counter grabbing a handful of diamond rings, necklaces, and earrings. Everything she can hold silently, then we walk off.
Yes, the camera caught it all but it didn’t matter, because we made it out the store, jumped in the Uber that was waiting for us.

The General's Dream
General Aldarius winds up accidentally saving the elkai prince who joined the army and ends up in the war with the volkin. The boy, age seventeen, is almost killed before General Aldarius comes to his rescue. Sensing that the boy didn't belong, he questions how the would be prince managed to get in the army in the first place. The prince explains that he joined the army because he wanted to prove to himself and his father that he was something more than just someone who sat in the background of life. He wanted to be more active. General Aldarius doesn't catch on that the boy is the King's son yet until the King himself issues a distress alert across the nation that his son has gone missing. Putting two and two together, this "random" boy who joined the elkai army happens to be the same boy that the King is looking for. He goes to question the boy once more about who he was and why he was in the army in the first place. The boy confesses that he is indeed the King's son and even though he lied about his identity, his reasons for joining the army remained true.

Dark Memoirs - Index There are at least two kinds of people in the world: those who write this half-arsed kind of intro to a story that looks to separate the rare and the norm, and those who realise it's an overused framing device and don't.
