“The stars glistened brighter than any diamond could!” That ending is perfect in so many ways. Yes, they are shining up there, but it’s the hope of freedom that makes them glisten so much! And who else would compare them to diamonds but a thief. Clever!

I love this whole story! From the title and stomach-turning opening paragraphs to the end, it seems much larger than 100 words would allow.
