The Mugger (a #ShortStory)

"Give me your money or I'll stab you!" 


"In the past few days I lost my job, my home and my girlfriend, 
with all my money. And now am forced to go live with my mom again. 
Please stab me." 

The guy almost started crying, was at the brink 
of giving me his sharpened screwdriver but reconsidered, 
shook his head and walked away. 

"F*ck, I can't even get myself killed if I want to. 
Is there really nothing I can succeed at these days?" 

It took me a while but I 'm okay now. 
And I hope so is the mugger.
