Ham and Pickles

Ham and Pickles

The sandwich—it looked very good inside the clear plastic container. Ham and cheese panini, a fancy term for a plain old ham and cheese sandwich. Someone had left it by a phone booth. The street was busy, with hundreds of people going by. No one would notice, no one would care if she took it. It was lunchtime and her stomach growled. She tried to do something about it, but that was often hard. She looked behind her; no one was looking. Her hand put the container in her large bag.
