They...
Night scraped it's knees on wet pavement
leaving smears of blood neon-red
Ebony tree arms were reaching out
while the street-lights shone overhead
Darkness lay down on the grass
and covered itself with the dew
The stars peeped out from the sky
where they had lain, hidden with blue
Sounds and colors are muted
A different scene unfolding it seems
The night people are waking from slumber
while day ones are dreaming their dreams
The shine of crayon colored lights
in the mirror of wet roadways and streets
Leaves trails behind in your vision
and the swirls are really so neat
The air is full of odors, new smells
whispers of things that will be
I relish the change into darkness
for it gives comfort to me
Black and blacker the canvas
colored lights brushed garish and bright
Make the scenes I see so delightful
giving new promise to night
Wrapped in the cloth of excitement
I stride quickly into the dark
Killer awaits on the corner
tonight we hunt meat in the park
Ebony shadows will hide us
until we have taken our prey
No one will know who we are
people will just say, it was “They”

This was awesome
Everything flowed together perfectly!!!! In the beginning, I believed it had something to do with a couple in love, a hint of romance thrown in there and then there was Killer, waiting at the end. He never disappoints me!!! Nevermore is very interested to see what "They" are going to accomplish!!!
Keep Writing,
Carrie

I started...
this one as a prelude to the meeting of Nevermore and Killer. Then I got caught up in the sights and sounds of the nighttime. Looking back on it, I realized that I had written it in the perspective of Nevermore! It might be fun for you to try and write something of the same and maybe follow the thoughts of Killer as he prepares for his date with Nevermore? Love ya, ~ Gee

That would be... um... delightful.
Okay, maybe not delightful, but curious?
This is classic Geezer. I am so crowded I don't get around much anymore. Did you ever read Howard the Duck? I was a big fan of Gerber before he crapped out. He ran a daily for a time that I don't have in my collection. The Menemannee Falls Gazette is hard to find and I'm broke any way.
Anyway.
The big bad guy group was "THEY". They ran everything. Presidents, Parliaments, womens social clubs. It was terrifying. And funny of course.

Nevermore
is in need of a companion, one she won't dispose of in the process. Looks like a quiet day since it is the day before a holiday so I might have a chance to start putting something together! I enjoy working with you as well and think this could be not only fun but a good story combining Neo's notorious serial killers.....
Keep Writing,
Carrie

I'm glad that...
you came to see what is going on here. Carrie and I have been slowly working toward the next meeting that is about to happen. Our styles are different, but I think that they could compliment each other. I am anxious to see how it turns out. I will look for your comment in the morning. I can always count on you to be a good critic.

A killer in waiting seems that we will have to look around the next morning,
I can see a few tasty things turning up in the park later, he could also meet/Meat someone else that is bent on fresh Long Pig tonight.
Yours waiting, Ian.T
PS:- I saw a couple sneaking in there for pleasure, maybe killer could take them both at his leisure LOL
