Ha ha. It is partly autobiographical this one @kriptonoob. There was an incident like that when I was a kid, as I grew up in a bit of a ghetto area but the old woman wasn't called Maggie and I didn't know her as well as in this story but well creative licence. The rest is pretty spot on tho, Ahmed at my local shop was a diamond and saved me from the local gang on more than one occasions. Lol it's mad when I look back on it but it was just normal to get chased for your money, it ended up like a game after a while, I'm sure those levels of adrenaline aren't good for you when you're growing up tho. Thanks for your comment m8 and checking out the post 😜
I like this a lot. There is not a lot of detail, but there is enough on which to hang memories from one's own childhood. I know those louts on their bikes and the shopkeeper. I never knew Auntie Maggie, but I could have.
Thanks @catweasel, cool cartoon btw. It's hard to embellish these weekend freewrite stories much with imagery or metaphor as each of the 3 prompt paragraphs are written to a strict five minutes timer. I think I might of slipped one or two similes in there though. Thanks for your comment and checking out my story :-)

Thanks @melinda010100, I love a good twist at the end of a story and the great thing about these weekend freewrite ones is you don't get to see each of the 3 prompt sentences until just before your about to hit the stop watch so it's think on your feet time. I love the challenge of it, trying to make something cohesive with a plot twist at the end. Thanks for stopping by to read :-)
Big brother, I wait for you by telegram to talk.
Hermano, vas a regresar a casa a un muro de texto en tu página de telegrama. Espero que algo de esto sea útil. 👍
I enjoyed this!! You even made me like Aunt Maggie in the end. One of the better fiction posts I've seen on Steemit! Good job.
I would like to have Maggie on my team :)

I've done a few of the single prompts, but not the weekend. I'm not much of a writer....I'd rather take pictures!
