---

Only the Shadow knows …

I am shadow, merged with the dark.

Waiting, patient, armed in the night.

I know where you live-where your weaknesses are.

You are solid, and real.

I am but a ghost.

To your coterie you are somebody. I am nobody.

Motionless, I track movement in my sniper sight.

A cough in the dark velvet night.

I move- you remain. Dead to the world.

I win you lose.

You did not see me. I was not here.

"Only the Shadow knows what evil lurks in the heart of men"

Am I substance or shadow?

I do not know.

Time will tell.
