Hey. Hey you. Yes, you.
Listen and listen close.
This is a story about a heist. That’s right, a heist. One that is going to happen right in front of your eyes and you will still never see it coming.
It all started with a simple plan when my buddy Jason and I decided to rob the biggest bank in Chicago.
Although I had nothing to lose, Jason was married with two kids. But despite my trying to talk him out of it, he would not be persuaded.
After weeks of planning every detail, studying the bank's security system, memorizing the guards' schedules, and practicing our escape plan, we were ready.
On the day of the heist, we executed our plan flawlessly. We got in and out of the bank in record time, leaving no trace behind.
But as I sit here in this jail cell, I realize that the biggest heist wasn't the one we pulled off. It was the one I committed against you because none of that ever happened. I made it up, but I didn’t lie.
Thanks for reading and allowing me to steal your time with a story about a heist you never saw coming.

Your narrative is fun to read, and the catchy ending made me feel like a character in your story. This has been well thought through.
