oh pretty: antique heart locket

when i was in the 4th grade i won a bicycle during a raffle at the martinsville agricultural fair. i was winner! it felt amazing. i couldn't wait to ride my brand new bike to school. free at last. and wouldn't you know it ... somebody stole it within the week. boo, bad people.
