About this ebook

Five finger discount is street slang for shoplifting, or just plain stealing.

This story highlights the unwept misdeeds of several petty shoplifters, and reveals the consequences of their actions.

Although, the motives driving several characters in this story are drug related, such is not the case in all pilfering situations.

Extreme poverty, mental issues, the desire to simply own something not affordable, to, simply, wanting something to eat, are just a few reasons people steal from stores.

I also include a tale about a hardened criminal who robs for no other reason than it's his nature.

Also, included, for you business owners, is a less than comprehensive list of shoplifting techniques.

Read, enjoy, and learn.

Marsell Morris

Marsell was born in Detroit Michigan in the year of... well, a good while ago. After graduating from Cass Technical High School, Marsell went to work for the Chrysler Corporation as a conveyor loader. Shortly after beginning his employment with Chrysler, he married, and fathered three children. Thirty-one years later, and after having gained the position of production supervisor, he retired at fifty.After retiring, he began playing golf everyday and all day. Having lowered his handicap to near scratch, and winning a tournament at even par, and behind a debilitating injury, he was unable to continue playing. He had a lot of free time on his hands, whereupon, he took up writing as a hobby and time killer and discovered he had talent for spinning a yarn.After pounding out eleven urban fictions, covering everything from drug use, prostitution, gang crime, murder, and romance/erotica, and having always been a science fiction fan from his teenage years, he thought he’d try his hand at writing a Sci-Fi tail, which culminated in his first work “Alien Plot - First Contact” now retitled "Alien Offensive - Nanobot Storm" and its four sequels, and which, at one time before he ran into problems with its publisher, was considered good fodder for production as a movie, not because he is such a great writer, but because of its unique, previously unexplored, plot.He still lives in Detroit, and being a compulsive writer, he spends most of his time wearing out his fourth keyboard replacement, while pursuing what he loves doing — writing more tails with unique story lines.

    There's a decent story in here somewhere but the author needs to fire his editor pronto. This is the second book I've read by him and both were full of grammatical, punctuation, and syntax errors. It's hard to keep your focus on the story as you're confronted by yet another misspelled word or misplaced comma. I'd love to continue to support the author's works but it's got to be at least readable.
