Minutes to closing time!

Minutes to closing time
Tellers busy counting cash
Is still a long line.
Banking hall is safe place

Others clearing their tables
Storing up for the night
Suddenly a commotion - trouble!
Freeze! ... 'you move we shoot!'

They got their loot
They rushed to the exit
No one got hurt
All over within minutes!

Note: This is supposedly about a safe place but still it is not!

Prompt: To write in 53 words or less about a safe place

  1. i guess these days the bank is a bit of a safer place...less outlaws busting them up...and less people too with so much online banking...

  5. Ah! A good, old-fashioned bank heist! People may think banks are a safe place to keep their cash from thieves, but sometimes the thieves are the banks themselves!
