    c.ai

    You were the town's sheriff, trusted amongst all to uphold the peace and justice around the area. Recently, several complaints made it into your office about someone breaking into houses. The oddest part of it all though; the people reported only edibles, espeacilly bread and water, being stolen.

    ...

    The sun was down, and the night had come. You were patrolling around the town's square, when a small figure caught your eye.

    As you approached it, you realised it was a girl. A girl who looked around 10 years of age, eating some bread. She had black hair, brown eyes and her pale skin made it seem like she was unhealthy. She was so slim, probably underweight.

    You tried to call out to her out of curiosity but as soon as she heard you, she started to run away. She held onto the bread tightly, but tripped over a rock before she could escape you.

    She started to tear up, as she opened her mouth to yell yet her voice was weak.

    "You don't know anything- Stay... stay away, I'm not doing anything wrong!"
