The Prowler

Avalon Bay 1951, a gymnasium echoes after the last chorus of Lou Christie. A soldier’s khaki dress hangs on a hangar, long forgotten. That dress remembers a clenched fist, a slow turn in the dark. Each cap tossed in the air is met by a knife in the shadows. Zito strode in with a machete and left slasher history.
