He thought he was the provider. It was time to remind him what poverty felt like.
My fingers flew across the mechanical keyboard, the clicks sounding like rapid gunfire in the quiet room.

For the final phase of my three-minute window, I targeted his prized possession: his matte-black Aston Martin Vantage. The car was leased through a corporate account that my company managed.
