It used to be, people would agree, that the undesirables, the roaches, the mice, and all the rats would come out after twilight.
All the heinous crimes were committed in the hours after nightfall.
That was then and this is now.
Stabbings, shootings, rapes and abductions do not respect the boundary lines between twilight and daybreak. Innocents become victims on the 8 am trains, buying lunch at bodegas, sipping drinks at the 5-7 pm happy hours, walking home at 2 am after the graveyard shift.
Detective, you say you are making swift and great progress. Do you mean in bringing my loved one back?
How many twilight's must I count over these skyscrapers?
