The Emerald Serpent Heist
A Daring Theft, a Risky Escape, and the Price of Triumph
In the dimly lit room, Alex meticulously examined the blueprints of the vault. The plan was set, the team was ready. Tonight, they would execute the perfect heist.
The clock struck midnight as they slipped past the security guards, their steps silent and deliberate. Alex expertly disabled the laser grid, and they descended into the vault's depths.
The room was filled with priceless artifacts: gleaming diamonds, ancient artifacts, and stacks of cash. But their target was one item—the legendary Emerald Serpent.
As they reached for it, the room erupted in blinding light. The Serpent was rigged with a state-of-the-art alarm system, unbeknownst to them.
Panicked, the team scattered, desperate to evade capture. Alex sprinted toward the exit, but the sound of sirens grew louder.
Just as they thought they were doomed, a masked figure emerged from the shadows. It was Mia, their inside contact. She had anticipated the trap and deactivated the alarm.
"Let's get out of here," Mia whispered.
Together, they escaped the museum, clutching the Emerald Serpent. Outside, their getaway van awaited, engine revving.
As the van sped away, Alex gazed at the Emerald Serpent, its beauty a stark contrast to the chaos behind them. They had succeeded, but the heist had left its mark—a rush, a thrill, and a lingering question of what the future held for their daring team of thieves.

Midnight
60 seconds… 59 seconds… Time was slipping through his fingers, though he clawed at the falling grains of sand, he could not stop the hourglass from flowing. Around him, the silence was deafening. He had taken over every screen in the command centre, putting the terrible seconds before the terrified eyes of his friends and comrades.

Snacktime Sonata Challenge Winners
Well, your Snacktime Sonatas made us hungry, and that’s about the highest compliment we have. Food — taste, smell, sensation — is a powerful conduit to the past, to memories pleasurable and painful and sometimes bittersweet, a mixture of comfort and challenge. Congratulations to Penny Fuller for Sativa — it’s a first win for Penny — a hymn to the “secret, unbounded/freedoms” of fresh peas in the pod. The narrative voice of the poem doesn’t really want to be outside, but finds joy in the green things of the earth; this is a lovely work of resilience.
