Just asked AI to write me a story about Sid Vicious meeting Oliver Twist...

Sid Vicious, the infamous punk rocker, stumbled upon a young boy named Oliver Twist on the streets of London. Intrigued by the boy's ragged appearance, Sid offered him a place to stay at his dingy apartment. As they got to know each other, Sid discovered that Oliver had a talent for pickpocketing. Impressed by the boy's skills, Sid took him under his wing and taught him the ways of rebellion and non-conformity. Together, they roamed the city, causing chaos and defying societal norms. Oliver found a sense of belonging with Sid and the other punks, finally feeling like he belonged somewhere. But as they say, all good things must come to an end. One day, Sid was arrested for his wild antics and Oliver was left alone once again. With a heavy heart, he continued his life on the streets, never forgetting the lessons he learned from the punk rock legend, Sid Vicious.
