Killers hide among us and they're not always in the shadows. That neighbour down the street you've never spoken to might be harbouring a terrifying secret, a body under the patio, a victim in the basement. The person behind you in the supermarket queue or sat next to you on the train could have already claimed a life and are seeking out the next notch on their belt.
Serial killers, mass murderers, killers of children, monsters in the darkness, they all exist alongside us. They move among us in secret hoping not to be caught, wary of the cameras and passing police. They lay in wait for the next victim, stalk us and herd us into their world, imagining how they might end our lives. When our veil of safety gives way to comfort and we let our guard down, that's when they strike.
Humans killing humans is not a modern evil, we have been killing each other since the dawn of humanity. Even the bible proves we are split between the dark and the light. And yet it is the darkness that tempts those to push a knife into flesh, shoot a bullet to the head or choke the life out of one they once loved.
