PREY. He sits at the corner of the bar, fades into the shadows. Unnoticed, non discript among the regulars. He eyes the dark haired woman. *Well nourished female, 130 pounds, 5 foot 6 (or thereabouts) Red rose tattoo across left upper arm, hands tied behind her back, feet bound.* She sips her drink, laughs at a joke. He watches, waits. *Stab wounds to her chest. Cause of death strangulation, evidence of ****** assault. Evidence of mutilation.* She leaves, waves from the door. Excitement swells his veins, tightens his chest. He starts to follow. Someone shouts: “g’night Cinnemon!” He retreats back into the shadow. Prey can’t have a name.
