The Bike Thief

To the Rider his moped is everything As a pizza delivery driver it is his livelihood As a breadline straddling immigrant father it is his familys anchor It takes his wife to work It gets his daughter to school So when one night the moped is stolen his world collapses He has to get back his bike or replace it in whatever way possible before his next shifts starts If he fails he wont just lose his job he will lose it all He tries to ask the few familiar faces for help in this unfamiliar disorienting city However as he runs out of time and his options are wearing thin his moral compass begins to crack and he grows more and more willing to forgo his conscience in order to save himself and his family
