Evicted to the slums
After a few years of living in a little home, the price of rent went up. I couldn't afford the rent so i was evicted. I now live in the slums were there is rotten filth, and criminals.

I strike it rich!
After a few years of living in the slums, i resort to crime. But today it wasnt an average mug, i got very lucky. I tried to mug a man and he gave up right away. He handed me all his money. He just happen to be carrying 600 dollars! The gun was well worth the 12$ renting fee.
