Michael is in a good mood. He avoids his wife, two daughters, and unpaid bills on the table. He meets 3 friends at a Greek restaurant for their biweekly bridge game. They aren’t close since he moves a lot for work. They discuss impulses—including stealing. It reminds him of when he stole his neighbor’s conch-shell when he was 10. He goes to the drugstore and decides to steal a deluxe safety razor set, feeling a silent exhilaration.
