Chapter 2: Stone Paper Scissors

"Hello mam I'm the paper boy"

"Leave the paper near the doorstep and you may go"

"I have already delivered today's paper at your place mam. I just wanted to inform you some carnapper was trying to break into your car. I tried to catch him but..."

"The car's gone?"

"No I saw him approaching your car and fled to catch him, unfortunately he slipped off my finger. Your car's safe mam, although he broke the car window"

"Oh it's okay. My mom will look over it. Thank you"

"Okay. Have a nice day"

The city is surrounded by burglars. You just can't trust anyone. Everytime you are exposed to the world, it feels like you are being thrown into darkness.

My mum is already cutting off her expenses for me and now this. I wish I could help her. I wish to erase the past. I wish..

*Knock knock*

"Hey, sweetheart open the door"

"Coming mum"

" How are you? Had your medicines on time?

"I'm fine and yes I had my medicines. By the way there's a bad news, the paper boy came home earlier today to inform someone tried to break into our car. So I think you should first go check on our car"

"Are you okay? Nothing happened to you right?"

"I'm good but our car isn't"

"I'll go have a look at it"

*After 10 mins*

" Fortunately our car has only minor injuries, so it's service won't cost much"

"That's a good news.. What's that in your hand? "

"Oh it's nothing, just a pair of scissors the guy must have used to break the glass"

"Can I see it? "

"Here, hold it but be careful"

"Yeah. Why does this look familiar? "

"Because we used to have a similar one"

"Oh.."
