Seven Deadly Sins - Greed

Murmuring to myself as I come to, rubble everywhere, last thing I remember, was walking past the hospital, and then, an explosion. 

Hysteria, confusion, but most importantly anarchy.

I chuckled to myself, this is where humans show their true emotions, in a situation like this, its do or die. I on the other hand had another idea on hand, money.

Two entire blocks had been affected by the blast.

I overheard two people yelling out ‘Terrorists! The second blast wasn’t the last to come! Take cover!’

Two blasts? Interesting, i had only experienced one, but then that wouldnt have affected two whole blocks. I noted that the bridge leading out of the island was packed with people running, i noticed that there was only enough of the bridge undamaged to allow for people only access.

Perfect.  

I spotted the bank. Surprisingly empty. 

Even better. 

I couldn’t help it, it was just there. It was doing nothing, just sitting there, if you will. 

Running into the crumbling bank, i run past a dead security guard, reaching for his gun. Turning to inspect the vault i see a man quivering. Another security guard, armed. 

He reaches for his gun, but i am quicker. A small pop and I become the worlds next Grim reaper; decider of lives.

All mine.

Checking my satchel I empty out the charges i was originally using to blow the vault door open. They can be used another day, when i strike without being interupted.

Filling up my bag, i place the charges on top of all the cash, wrapped in a black bag, in case i need to use them, for some odd reason.

Thinking to myself i could use them for distraction, place them on a car nearby.

And thats exactly what i did.

After planting the bomb, I took a moment to take a breath.

A sick feeling from the bottom of my gut.

The timer.

I hadn’t changed it.

It was set for 20 seconds.

It was already at 17 seconds.

I moved quickly to the…
