Deathly quiet pervaded the night upon the gallery floor
Intent upon the dastardly deed was the renowned rapscallion
Silently creeping, evading razor-sharp deathly laser beams
Treading carefully, he danced between, betwixt life and death
Repeated moves, steady hands. Defying those piercing swords, so close
A hair's breadth separated his continued existence in the here and now
Count: Minute. Second. Each murderous beam. Step. Jump. Wait
The prize he has claimed triumphantly
Immense pleasure washes over his countenance
Only. Frustratingly, total darkness engulfed his senses
No more freedom, three strikes. He is out!!!
How to do a 'Hilarious Distraction'. Sorry Clarice.

Crime never pays (unless you have a great diversion)! I love the story, and you have expertly presented it as an acrostic. Well done!
