Seventh story (shame)
Today I want to tell you about my sins. It maybe seems not matter, but everytime when I remember it I feel ashemed.
I don't remember how old I was when it happened, I think it was in the second or third grade of school. There was a supermarket 10 minute from our home. A woman from the neighboring apartment worked there. They sold groceries, household goods and toys. I liked one toy - a plastic gun, I passed by the shelf several times, I really wanted it, but my parents couldn't buy it for me.... And then one day I decided to steal it... I thought it would be easy... I went to the supermarket, walked between the shelves and put the toy in my pocket. As I was leaving, a securitz guard stopped me. He took me to the service room.
- Did you know, there are cameras there?
- No
- Do you think I saw what you did?
- Yes
- What did you do?
- I stole a toy
- So what should I do with you now? Call the police, right?
- No, please, don't call the police!
- Where do you live?
- I live at number 20 Turku street, apartment 20
It was a lie, because I lived in apartment numbered higher than 70 Turku street, building 24.
- Give me your phone number, I want to talk with your parents. Do you know your home phone number?
- Yes, I know, 7825868
It was a lie, again
He dialed the phone number, it rang.... Nobody answered...
- I'll have to keep you here, until I get through to your parents!
- Please, let me go, I promise, I won't do it again!
We waited 10 or 15 minutes and he brought me out
- If I see you again, I'll call the police!
So, I went home... That day I was afreid that the neibhor would tell my parents about it. But this didn't happen. And at next day too. A week has passed. We rarely went to this supermarket, but sometimes it happend. The next time we went to that supermarket, I was very afraid that this man would stop me, call the police and tell my parents everything. But it doesn't happend. Every time we went to that supermarket I was afraid of this...
