Video Store Robbery

I will never forget when last Wednesday took a frightful twist. A video store, "Video Roma", was being robbed and I was inside. "Video Roma" is found between a grocery store and a craft shop. Christmas was coming soon and there was cheery Christmas music of all sorts filling my ears. Stripes of red and green ribbons, and red flowers were decorating the store. Peppermint and spearmint candles scented the air. Phone calls with a shipping company, whose deliveries hadn't arrived on time, occupied the store's owner. Employees were stocking shelves, and helping customers find what they wanted. Customers were looking at games and many different types of movies, while chatting with one another about what they thought their friends might like best for Christmas, and their New Year's plans.

In the meantime, two robbers, who appeared to be younger guys because of their build, slipped though the automatic doors in the front unnoticed. They looked very strange. Both of them were dressed like they were gangsters. Their faces were hidden in their turtlenecks, and their eyes were covered with very dark sunglasses. Extremely short describes one robber, while the other was extremely tall. After they glanced around the comedy section for a while, the robbers went up to the cashier. "Hello, how may help you today?" The young girl's voice rang out. "By giving us all the money here," snickered the short robber with the tall robber at his side. Turning around, he yelled out, "Everybody down, and don't move. We're robbing this place."

When the robbers swung out their guns, everybody was stricken with fear. Most jumped to floor, like it would save them. One person was so shocked she couldn't move, and she was standing right in front of the robbers!

Suddenly the person in shock, who while in shock looked like a realistic statue, appeared to come to life again.

"Police!" She yelled, while pulling out her badge, "You're under arrest." Those two robbers were handcuffed and driven off to jail.

Case closed!
