When All Freezes Over. Runner-Up in Micro Heist Challenge.
In the dark, Scott and Hank met. They snaked through the hot alleys to the corner of C and 16. Scott silently pointed upwards at the window of a vacant apartment. There it was. Valued more than they made in a lifetime. How it managed to go unnoticed was a miracle.

In the vibrant heart of a sprawling metropolis pulsating with cutting-edge innovation, a city where technology was as integral to everyday life as a morning cup of coffee, a young scientist named Leo had succeeded in a truly unprecedented endeavor.

Would you Like a Bag with That?
Gretchen pondered each ka-ching of the till as customer after customer passed through her line. Management had told her this morning: always ask if they want a bag, don’t just give it them. This is absolutely a matter of policy. She was favorite cashier at the neighborhood liquor store, and although she did not drink, she flourished in this world of colorful bottles. Every customer had their story, and they all gave it in summary or installment as she checked them out at the line. She thought she should compile the little stories into a huge book, to showcase a slice of life. She rehearsed to herself: always remember to ask if they would like a bag; never just give it to them; that’s the key.
