The Domino Effect

Haley

Let's talk about Haley. She's young, peculiar, wears dark clothing and spends her time in obscure parts of town, like a subway for instance. She's unpredictable and definitely lives by her own rules. She wears low-key punk rock boots, has straight hair, and always wears long coats, I mean always. But most interestingly she has eyes that would sometimes change color. Although she has a kind face and a unique style, don't be fooled. Haley claims to suffer from kleptomania. For those who don't know, kleptomania is an impulse control disorder that results in an irresistible urge to steal, and that's exactly what Haley does. Haley does not have many friends, nor does she really want any, at least that's what she tells herself. One day, Haley managed to steal a watch, a hairbrush, earrings, and a strawberry smoothie. Soon after, as Haley sips on her stolen smoothie, Haley was feeling good about her successful robberies. It was just another regular day that is, until she notices something very odd. It was a man, running with a bag of fresh cash and no one was chasing him. The thievery had company after all. Impulsively, she called the police. That's right. A girl who had just broken various laws herself just called the cops on this man. Was she a changed person? Or was she just protecting herself? Well, a few moments later, she came across two bags of groceries sitting on the ground. As it turns out, Haley hadn't changed at all. She grabbed the bags and walked away. She completed her day by texting a fellow who she knew would respond right away. Two words were capable of captivating the young man's attention completely. Come over. That was her message. This is it. This is her life.
