I smell...

desperation...it's everywhere, on everyone. As this economy gets worse more people are doing things they never thought they would... crossing the line of sanity most live by...doing whatever it takes to survive.

She wasn't supposed to be there. I don't know who she was....it doesn't matter really. I could see her tiny infant in the back, I knew her motive. She had no idea I was watching, waiting for her to make a move. Sitting in her car, the baby cries...her hands shake as she looks at her 45.

She had been scoping out the EZ Pawn on south 2nd for the last three days. No customers now, only one employee, this would be it. Easy money....food for the kid.

I can see her building up courage between short gasps. She reaches for her door....I hate doing this.

From two stories up, her car hood gives way, a perfect landing. She freezes....I cant see the color in her face. Her trembling hands lift up the 45. A thought flashes that she might do it, but her eyes say different. She isn't that desperate....yet.

The gun goes down, and I yell at her to "leave".

....she hasn't been back.

It's been a busy week. I hope jobs return soon. There's enough to be done fighting those who aren't innocent.
