The adventures of Matt Hankers The Glowing Mask in Hawaii

by Miguel Angel Aldrete

THAT NIGHT, SOMEONE WEARING AN oversized robbers mask with two holes for the

eyes, was standing outside Matts Hotel room. He had X-Ray vision glasses that could

see through walls and doors. The robber used his glasses to see that Matt had hidden

the mask in his bottom drawer under his clothes, hoping no one would look there. Once

Matt was asleep, the robber snuck into his room without making a sound he got in the

room by knocking out the janitor who had the special room key that could open any

room in the hotel. The only light in the room was coming from the glowing mask in the

drawer. He gently picked up the mask. The robber slipped away without Matt noticing

that the mask was stolen, but the robber left the drawer open.
