They say that a life of crime will inevitably lead towards a disastrous end. I understand this, but I also understand that criminal lifestyle is more of a necessity rather than choice at first. And then it becomes addiction, like drugs or sex, it becomes more than need, you start enjoying it. The lines of choice and need blur after a while and you stop thinking about what you're doing and why.
Crime itself might be inhuman but the criminal is always a human. He is palpable and watchable. He has feelings and is driven by goals, whether short term or long term. In the end a criminal is just like us because; he is selfish, and that's the most human and "inhuman" thing about a criminal.
My name is Sarah and I was seventeen years old when I realized how human and superior a man plagued by crime can be. I realized that a driven aspiration for money has nothing to do with a corrupt soul. I realized that a man is a man and a woman is a woman at the end of the day. And beyond worldly intentions was an animalistic bond that connected us.
It was July and I had just graduated from High School. I had decided to take a year off before going to the University. I still lived with my parents in a suburban community with my younger sister and brother who were 15 and 13. Dad had a great job, mom ran a business and all of us were happy. Our house was filled with family photos. We kids had all we could ask for growing up.
I had graduated from high school with an average GPA. I was popular in certain circles but I was never the spotlight grabber. I stayed away from the sluttier departments of school life like cheerleading. That's why my sex life included an emotional attachment rather than an impressive profile. I had changed a couple of boyfriends but I knew it wasn't just for the sake of having one that I was with someone throughout high school in one case or the other. As the inevitable drew nearer I knew my current boyfriend would depart like all others and leave me once again alone. School ended and everyone drifted away to their desired colleges while I was left behind.
I wasn't emotionally broken down, I understood that for some people a year away from the road to achieving life goals is a year lost and wasted. So I moved on, getting involved with my family a little more, helping mom with the business, having a part time job. It was going OK for me. And it was not long that emotionally the boyfriend was replaced by my family and physically by the toys I started buying after I grew out of barbies. I was happy just the way things were, I would look for an emotional connection like I always did before allowing a man to explore my nether regions. And I was at peace that that might take a while.
I was pretty if for some not overtly hot. I was five and a half feet and had grown into a full woman fast. My breasts did not attract attention but were part of the package. It was not as if I belonged to the breasts but the breasts perfectly belonged to me. They were firm and pert with a nice centerpiece of pink areoles and nipples. My shoulder height brown hair were wavy and although I wanted them to be straight, I went with them because they suited me. I wasn't the type to turn heads and enlarge members at first sight, but I was proud and attracted sufficient attention when I wanted to by changing the way I dressed usually.
It had been 3 weeks since school finished. My routine was to get up and go to the job in the morning. In the afternoon I helped mom. In the evening I spent time with my siblings whenever I could and in the night I spent time with myself. It was monotonous but I went along with peace of mind. One day I returned home to find that one of mom's clients was demanding refunds and it had put the business in crisis. She had to immediately leave for London to address the issue. Dad had to attend an important seminar at the same time so for the first time in our lives, it was us three siblings alone in the house for almost the whole week.
My sister Claire and Alex my brother were both ecstatic about the week and as it turns out had a couple of firsts in that week. Alex would play nonstop video games and as one day I found out saw his first pornographic movie in that week. Claire spent day and night with her boyfriend and as she told me dreamily one night when cleaning up after dinner had lost her virginity in that week. But they were not the only one who had firsts that would last in their minds in that week.
A day was left until dad returned. Two days till mom returned. I washed the dishes at the end of a tiring day and was looking forward to having some "Me" time in my room. Just before indulging in a pleasuring night I went to check on my siblings. The door of Alex's room was shut tight. I knocked and entered and realized how he quickly changed screens on his computer to a video game. I was OK with it because I knew it was a teenage phase for him. I said goodnight and went to check on Claire. Claire's door was slightly ajar. I peaked in and saw that her boyfriend was with her and they were kissing on her bed. I sighed and thought how lucky my sister was to have someone over the summer. I didn't want to disturb her and I left them without making my presence felt. Mom and dad would've killed me and them if they knew what was happening. But I left them because I knew that in their place I would be doing the same thing if not a little more out of line.
I went up to my bedroom. It was nearing midnight. I lighted candles and turned off the lights. I took out a chest from beneath my bed. It contained an assortment of sex toys I had collected over the past two years behind the eyes of my mother and father. I had vibrators and pumps and dildos of all shapes and sizes. I undressed, oiled up and started going to town to relieve myself of all the tension of the day. Soon the muscles relaxed somewhat before getting tense again, this time from a different source, a source more pleasurable than sorting groceries. But right before I was about to come I heard a noise from downstairs and was distracted and left unsatisfied after being so close yet so far.
First I thought it would be Claire or Alex in the kitchen but then I finally thought I should check. I hurriedly put on my polka dot panties and a robe before heading outside my room. I first checked Claire's room and she was asleep, her boyfriend probably left. I went to Alex's room and he was playing a game with headphones on. I was glad that he had other things to do than to watch porn. Maybe it was because he was resting his recently found man hood.
What I was not glad about was that both Claire and Alex were in their rooms upstairs whereas the sound had come from downstairs. I started fearing that someone had broken into our house but then I calmed myself by thinking it could be a mouse. I slowly walked down realizing there were more noises coming from downstairs. The noises were coming from the kitchen. I tried to be discreet but hit a table on my way to the kitchen after which suddenly the noise stopped. Whoever was in the kitchen knew that I was here. I had two options. I decided for the one which put my life in danger.
I slowly continued towards the kitchen where I saw a silhouette in the dark. A tall man was standing in our kitchen. I turned on the lights and saw that he was carrying a gun and wearing a ski mask. This really was a robbery and I had stepped right in front of an armed robber without any weapon wearing a bath robe over my panties.
"Hands up!" He screamed at the top of his voice pointing the gun at me. Scared to death I shot my hands in the air. I was trapped. I couldn't do anything now. I realized how stupid I was to walk right up to him without thinking anything. The man seemed to be in early twenties by the sound of his voice. He was nearly six foot tall.
"Please don't hurt me" I suddenly cried. I started begging after I realized that this man's intentions were not good.
"Stop making a Racket bitch!" he yelled in reply. "Who else is in this house?"
