Noiselessly, the shadow skulked along the alley wall behind the ignorant victim, who whistled happily beneath the fluorescent glow of street lamps.
Suddenly, the shadow deserted the darkness, wielding a silver blade. No scream, only blood came from open lips as the victim's wallet was plundered before the shadow disappeared...

my body twitches chest cracks cracks
eyes water wrists rolls shoulders fall in tense up
please is not enough
you will not understand any better than i do
why this place smashes a hole under my ribs every passing day
bars my arms in
and nothing is enough but
leaving

The Witching Hours
Night climbs slowly up the spires
Tow’ring above still, silent streets.
At last have come the witching hours
When ghosts and goblins dare to meet!
The gargoyles and the ghouls all prance
In gutters where the children trod
At day before a yawning trance
Did send them to the Land of Nod
The witches trade potions for spells
To keep the creeping spiders out,
Much like farmers from green dells
Ask merchants, “How much for a dozen trout?”

And sing like choirboys all the way,
Then fly to the bells and ring out the hours
Before night will be lost to day.

I am the greenery
I am the deer and the doves
I am the usable space

This was so amazing! Seriously, within fifty words you've:
- established a protagonist and antagonist
- established a motive, a plot, and themed it accordingly
- used symbols in this prose which carry the concept of the shadow
and finally
- Creates a story in itself.
Well done. Honestly. I'm impressed
