Mugged

[Elke]

Pretty soon another girl came up. Elke smiled happily when she saw what was being carried. She quickly gobbled the purse up. There was a tear near one of the straps, but it hung on. She’d probably be able to sew it back together just fine. “Oh thank you so much!” she squee’d and hugged her heroine. Then she opened the bag and rifled through its innards. Soon, she pulled out a squished muffin. Its crumbs were all falling out of the plastic wrapper. She frowned to herself then, casting a glare off in the distance the snatcher had run.


“Oh well.” she tossed the muffin in a trash bin and came back. “Know any bakeries around here? Or someplace to get a good snack?” she laid her palm on her stomach and pat it hungrily.
