A womans eyes scanned the crowded corridors of the shopping mall, her gaze lingering on the faces of the strangers passing by. She had been searching for what felt like hours, and still, she couldnt find what she was looking for. Suddenly, a faint glint caught her eye  a pair of glasses perched on the edge of a nearby table. As she reached for them, a hand shot out from nowhere, snatching the glasses away. The womans heart raced as she turned to confront the thief, only to find herself facetoface with a mysterious figure cloaked in shadows.
