About today's writing prompt genre: Take the following story aspect and work it into a piece, whether poetry or prose, whether you explore what led up to this place in the story, it begins with the thread, or the thread is merely a tiny aspect of the story that has crystallized around the original image.

Today's thread is...
Tell the tale of the first thing you ever stole.
Of course this doesn't have to be nonfiction, but if you want to delve into memoir, please do.

Interpret the thread as loosely as you'd like to.
