Writing Prompt: Black Friday Shopping Drama


You're at a huge store scouting out Black Friday deals. You start to notice that all the security cameras in the store seems to be following your each and every move.

I hate to shop, especially on Black Friday.  I avoid it like the plague!  But an item in the ad that I have been wanting to get for months had a great deal.  So I ventured out this cold Black Friday morning to get the object I’ve been wanting.  

I arrived at the store 10 minutes later, and as I already knew, the parking lot barely had any parking spaces.  I literally had to park on the street.  

Being careful not to slip on the snow and ice, I walked several feet to the store entrance.  

 Crowds of people were rushing to find the best deals they could find.and beat the rush. 
I finally found what I was looking for, a television, only to have someone snatch it up right before my eyes.  

And if that didn’t make matters worse, as the person walked off with the television, I noticed that my every move was being watched by a security camera.  

It even watched my movements after I decided to leave, since I didn’t get the television.  I was on my way out of the store to head home, when a store official yelled after me:  “Stop!”

I turned around to see what they wanted, and before I knew it, I was in handcuffs and hauled off to the back room for interrogation.

After berating me for shoplifting, I tried to show proof that I had nothing in my possession that wasn’t paid for.  But the store manager wouldn’t hear my story.  Instead he dialed the police.

Within minutes, I found myself at the police station, being booked and charged with shoplifting.
