I decided to start off the first 2 weeks with 2 stories I am very familiar with. I wanted to use these stories as a way to ease into these assignments, getting my grounding from stories I already know.

Week 2 Story - Tricksters: The Burglar, The Security Guard, and the Curator

Image
 The Masked Bandit was one of the most elusive burglars the world had ever seen. In and out, no detection, no witnesses, ever- until one cool fall night.  The burglar wore his big puffy black jacket this cold night, easy for stuffing any extra loot not fitting inside his duffel. It was his good luck charm, at least he thought so. Another perfect heist, the priceless jewels of the biggest museum in the world, all his... until at the last second his jacket got caught in the safe. The undetectable man, trying to free himself from the restraints he put himself in, was detected. The on-shift security guard came upon him on one of his rounds and began to laugh at the fool caught in the safe. "Oh how silly you look!" mocked the security guard, "you have done my job for me!" "Please!" the burglar pleaded, "If you help free me from these restraints I will split them with you, we will both be rich!" The security guard paused, not expecting such an intrigui
