Thundercracker.

In the oppressive silence that followed the chaotic, deafening roar of the bank robbery, as the gangsters left the horizon in their alarmingly fast crook-mobile, everyone in the bank held their breath, held together by panic belts of fear and confusion. No customer or employee could have anticipated this heist, a heist so brazen and ingenious that it stunned even the most seasoned security guards.

As the security guards prepared to activate their investigations, which would accurately map the situation for the upcoming police investigation, a young woman felt a strange wave of shadow courage. She couldn't help but imagine what it would be like to take matters into her own hands, as a true crime fighter, not dissimilar to the heroes of her children's books.

Cautiously people began to stand up, their feet stuck to the floor as if by a trail of crime glue, afraid that the robbers could return at any moment. An older man muttered something about the moral bankruptcy of society and found an outlet for his outrage in a momentary spat of verbal abuse.

At that moment a ray of hope broke through; a child had found a discarded wallet, casting a glow of rescue glow across the room. Maybe there was something left to save, everyone thought, as they slowly relaxed themselves, their bodies drenched in a mix of relief and devastation, the painful end to a moment that no one would ever forget, but that could also be the beginning of something new .
