I found a girl and exhorted her money. She seemed half-confused, half-scared, but she gave up her money nonetheless. Then, as I was walking way, a bespectacled kid saw me. The kid, shouting in a raised voice, said, "Stop ! I am you, and you are me !"
There was no sense to his statement, which irritated me to no end. Pissed, I beat up this insane kid. Immediately after the beating, the boy seemed to realize something, and ran way. Then, a winged angel appeared out of nowhere, and bellowed, "Thou shall feel the force of karma !"
When I next awoke, I found myself in an unfamiliar body, seeing everything from a much-displaced height. My next sight shocked me - someone resembling myself was approaching menancingly! I then realised that I was the girl I had previously exhorted! The shock and confusion left me stunned, and my money was effortless taken away by myself.
Another whiteout happened, and when I reawakened, I found myself in yet another vessel. I was now wearing spectacles... which would mean I was the bespectacled kid! The same one I beat up! Then I saw myself. Seeing myself approach, and knowing that I would soon be beaten by myself, I tried to stop this, by shouting "Stop! I am you, and you are me!"
It was useless, and I was beaten up. It was then that I realized the truth- that Karma works, but in a queer way. I was not being punished for earlier crimes. Rather, I was both the the victim and the perpetrator, that I was punished the instant I sinned against myself.
Upon realizing the absurd nature of the world, I repented, and became an angel.

it'ld be good if you ended the bit with the angel a bit more coherently.
"I repented and became an angel, who prophesiesed to myself "Thou shalt feel the wrath of Karma""
That's my opinion.
You are right. The story does seem a bit difficult to understand.
I'll rewrite it at some point in the future, though I'm not especially fond of the story in any case.
Too much mind, not enough heart.
