Most Prolific Serial Killer

Silently, the serial killer
crept in, keeping to the side,
undetectable.  Hanging out
day after day, watching,
learning the habits,
figuring the timing to be just
right.  Too late, others would
come to save her, too late they
would see the pattern that
was there all along, hiding.
Silently, the serial killer
made a move, over bone
and marrow, flesh and
fat, he kept at it, until
she could not fight any more.
Silently, violently, the
serial killer took his victim
to her death.  She was
mourned by those she knew
and families of the most 
prolific serial killer
of all time – Cancer.
