Hometown Heist
Homecomings are weird. There’s always that sandwich shop that’s a salon now; if you’ve been gone long enough, it was also a bicycle shop in between, but nobody bikes anymore, so, salon.

Oi, mate. Hope the business is going well. I'm not sure if this communication line is secure, so let's do it our old way. I arrived in Porto just a few hours ago. You know I never travel only for pleasure— I have a specific job in mind and—as you're local—I believe you could help me, and I'm sure you gonna like it— / I almost ran out of my funds—and I hate feeling broke. So I got this idea. Actually, it blissfully visited my head in a bathroom while I was taking a shower and contemplating the tiles on the wall (not that it's original or something, but then, it doesn't matter as long as it's moneymaking). Hope you don't have any plans for tonight, because I'd like you to give me a private tour. Say—at midnight sharp. Don't forget to take the usual tools— I've already found a buyer—all we need is to fetch—or rather scrape off—the goods and deliver them to a drop spot; I count on your help, so see you there, as we have just agreed!

My Last Letter
My Dearest, As the ink flows from my quill onto this parchment, I feel the weight of a hundred unspoken words, a hundred sentiments that have danced silently within the depths of my soul. This letter, my beloved, marks both an end and a beginning—a symphony of emotions, a confession of the heart, and a farewell to a love that was both my muse and my undoing.

The Wayward Stolen
People around town have been stolen by the forest for generations. Very few have resisted the calls and lived to tell the tale, and the ones that do often avoid speaking about it.

Stealing The Princess
A tall boy is throwing rocks at an even taller window. Behind him are lush gardens, carefully trimmed trees and armed guards that he somehow evaded. Infront of him is the castle, much older and wiser than he. But, he has a mission.

All is fair
My first thought when walking into the facility holding expensive paintings that are plagiarisms of my dead brother's work is that this place has great AC.
