murder in new city
seven women in new city have been murdered
in less than three months
news anchors keep the fear level high
women are afraid to leave their homes
especially at night
they have stopped clubbing
stopped playing cards
they are immobile some days
fear has paralyzed them
if they work nights they have a security guard walk them to their cars
checking under them and in the back seat before driving off
They roll down their windows and thank the security guard
One of the popular ones is Hank.
He loves walking them to their cars.
Likes that they feel safe with him.
Most never know they are thanking the murderer
before they drive off….
Hal walks back into the hospital,
shopping for his next victim.
