Be it day or night

The killer’s always in the detective’s sight

Hunter or hunted

Which one will it be to this killer’s activity Stunted.

Mortis by the time this night is through

Unless the detective can fight with breath renewed

Which will it be for you and me?

A stab, a strike, a shot through the head.

Victim or hero

How quick is your wit patient Zero?
