For the betterment of society.
— A Public Serpent
She says she's a ghost:
"You'll never see me coming."
She thinks she's a genius:
"Which, by the way, is the goddamn truth."
Here's what she wants you to know:
"Secrecy is security. Don't make yourself a mark."
Framed as a pissily-pious public service announcement for the betterment of society, Five Dollar Wrench is the life story of a thief, as told by a woman determined to justify her actions.
"This is not my story. It is my confession."
Whatever. Why a wrench, though?
"Look, a hunk of metal is a hunk of metal, but a hammer would be too obvious. Maybe even cliché. A wrench is more discreet."
Giiirl.
