Okay, this is it. After weeks of practise, days of bugging my brother to show me how to be scary and even taking notes from mobster movies. I should be able to pull this off. I have to. I trace out the shape of a person on my hand and mime eating it to try to control my nerves. It's just like doing a school presentation, but with less people trying to mock you.

I take a deep breath before pulling down the ski mask over my face. I quickly draw my gun and grab onto the pedestrian, shoving them against the wall and pointing the gun at their neck. I have the safety one, but I still feel really bad. I'm sorry random citizen. It's just that my parents are probably watching and I need to show them I'm not a failure.

I try my hardest to glare at them. I can't really stop my hands from shaking but I have to try. I grit my teeth in an effort to ground myself before speaking. "Y-you... H-hand over... your wallet! P-please?" Why... Why'd I say please? Why's my voice so shaky.
