Sandra's special power

36

Sandra Lee Time Bandit


Sandra Lee
Was a notorious time bandit
From the 24th century.

She had the ability
To shape shift
And to pause time.

And she used it
To become wealthy

Her favorite trick
Was going back in time
And investing in the market
At strategic points.

Or buying the lotto
Or playing the right slots
Or rouleete spin.

But sometimes
She just froze time
Walked into a bank.

Robbed the bank
And disappeared
Back to her future world.

The time cops
Were costantly
After her.

But the powers that be
Looked the other way.

As she paid off
The right faces
In just the right places
With just the right money.

A win-win situation
she thought
To herself.

And she avoided
Doing things
That would dramatically
Change time itself.

NEW PROMPT:

Write a story or poem about a character who has the ability to pause the passage of time.
