Fiction Seminar Short Story Middle Paragraph

Bliss clenched her baseball bat firmly in her hand. The rain splattered down on her as well as the sidewalk. She trudged over to a small diamond store on the corner of the long street. The neon lights of the ‘open’ sign flickered off. She hid in the corner of the dark street and waited for the last employee to lock up the building. Bliss moved quickly to the side of the shop. Once the employee was out of sight she swung the bat at the windows, watching the glass shatter and fall around her. She lept through and started smashing all the diamond cases stealing whatever she could before the police came. After fitting a pound or two of the riches in her pockets she ran over to the cash register, digging through the thousands of dollars that were obtained in it. In the distance she could hear the police sirens. Bliss frantically gathered everything that she needed and started towards the door, but before she could leave a policeman entered. He noticed a shadow in the corner of the store. “Who’s there?” He yelled. He moved deeper into the store and looked to where he saw the reflection only to see that Bliss was gone.
