This is the story of how a girl from nowhere becomes a thief nobody sees coming. She says she’s a ghost. This is her confession. It comes with a Five Dollar Wrench.

The novel is 13 chapters long, 94k words total. Chapters are divided into scenes, and each scene is linked below. The average scene is 1,000 words, which would be roughly 3 or 4 pages in a paperback.

I hope you enjoy the story.
