a trail of bodies

as he smiles his way in, the

A/N

If you know, you know. It is the seven year anniversary of the death of my friend Denise. Her murder was ruled a suicide...and the monster that actually took her life is out running free, harming and threatening young women, unaware. Well, until today. He has been arrested and is in jail again for DV. He won't be happy until he kills again, and the court system just keeps helping him get there.

    Your anger and frustration must be boiling over. Let's hope something sticks this time. A very powerful haiku.
