Do Shadows Even Bleed?

My shadow’s gone missing. It ran out the door last night as I was feeding the outside cats. It’s lost somewhere in the neighborhood; it can’t have gone far. It’s my shadow after all. Still- proximity is a delusion and cannot be trusted. 


Please be alert. Please post extra security and patrol the grounds. Be wary of junkies with a record of assaulting doctors. Be wary of corrupted cops. Beware of mind-control killers - though they may be working remotely in a different neighborhood. 


Is there direct evidence of a conspiracy? Any evidence? There’s too much blood for a simple game of hangman. Do shadows even bleed? 


The midnight police are at the door. No one can see. No one can hear. Bang. Bang. Bang. Police! Open the door! They come with flashlights but no probable cause. With battering rams but no warrant. With bruises and swelling and a broken nose on the floor. 


Threaten the translators. Condemn the pope for a resurrection story that doesn’t include our national flag. No matter what they say about the queers, they’re soft on actual crime. Tag and mark the whistleblower - he’s the real criminal.
