Shine Bright like A Diamond
Shining bright with a glow never witnessed before, this mouth dropping gold 2-piece karat was going to be taken on an adventure I have never seen before. I was scanning over shirts for back to school shopping. Just like every year, not a single T-shirt caught my eye, but what did grasp my attention was an African American teenage male. With hair as puffy as a cat that had just gotten struck by lightning, I could not help but peer over at him. He had a long slender body with legs that could easily have been mistaken for twigs. The mischievous look on his face gave me a hunch that he was up to something. As I continue glancing in his direction, I notice him creep over to the magnificent piece of jewelry. Covered by glass, the gold earring was lying on delicate pearl colored pillow. The karat reflected off the glass, giving it a glisten that could be seen for miles. Searching around he checked to his left, checked to his right. He cranked his neck one extra time, only to scan across an overweight security guard, snoozing like a baby. One little smile was all I needed to see, to understand what was going to happen in the next moment.
Before I could even blink an eye, the empty ear lobbed man took a swipe for the earring, the moment he put his palm in a pro-nation position, the gold had struck his hand and he was off. From that moment, it was all slow motion. Plowing through everything standing in the way, shelves were crashing in every direction. Necklaces spotted the floor. The beads snapped off, bouncing in every square inch possible. This pigsty looked like it had been abandoned a century ago. Frozen in place, my body went into complete shock. Witnessing a movie like scene, my mind wanted to be the savior, but my legs felt like they were in quick sand. Bug-eyed like never before, I stood in one spot and watched this berserk scene take place.
This entire ruckus had awoken
