The Warehouse
Dawn was already just a couple of hours away, but destiny, in its cruelty, had not put any food in her belly yet. She moved deeper into the shadow and pressed against her brother’s side. With her right hand, she adjusted her cloak’s hood over her head, her other arm rested inside, an useless arm that reminded her of the price of failure. Before she could start to feel the nervousness, her older brother put a hand over her shoulders and a reassuring smile. As if that would not have been more than enough, he brought her face close to her ear and whispered, “I’ve got you”.

Ten of the Smallest (and Most Bizarre) Bank Robberies
When you think of a bank robbery, the typical movie scenes tend to come to mind. A group of criminal masterminds who have spent a tremendous amount of time studying bank floor plans and security carefully execute a plan to heist large sums of money with the hopes of never being caught.Additionally, given that someone caught robbing a bank faces a penalty of up to 20 years in prison, it would only make sense that anyone willing to commit such an offense would also be looking for their crime to “pay.”There have been incredibly large bank heists throughout history, such as the Dar Es Salaam bank robbery in 2007, where $282 million was taken. But below, you will read stories that are quite the opposite. From strange motives to fake weapons and loot that was gambled away, this list contains 10 of the smallest (and quite possibly the most bizarre) bank robberies.

Tales of London #6
The teak desk dominated the whole room. It was very old, maybe even a century or so old, with a lot of drawers and carvings. It was also so huge that the five big leather armchairs on one side looked like those tiny ones kids used in kindergarten next to it. That desk was saying power, influence, importance.

Everybody’s miserable here because they wake up in the same bed, same houses, same world- I would give up everything-- just for a chance to see something different.” Staring out of the square shaped window of her square shaped room, in her square shaped house– that’s plastered white all throughout the inside and out-- here we have Connie, a 14 year old girl living on a planet called kepler.

Tales of London #5
Jenna had no choice. Jail, she wouldn’t even mind that much. She knew she was tough enough to last, and the thought of pissing off her father on a gigantic scale made her smile. But everyone sentenced for a crime committed by magic got also branded with a permanent Signum, cutting them off magic forever. It was a barbaric method, borderline fascist, but it did have results. Only, Jenna didn’t want to be a number in those statistics. She couldn’t imagine her life without magic: it was the only thing she was good at, the only thing she could always count on.
