Shadow Watch is a fist.
Four fingers and a thumb, squinched up tight and
cocked for quick release.
It won't lay you flat out, if you're a seasoned
opponent: Your stagger backwards is its prize, and your surprised
eyes.
II.
Shadow Watch is a shadow play of an action
movie.
Nineteen scenes acted out in slices of time. The
motions are the thing, not their meaning:
Invisible bullets. A crumpling figure. A sidle to
the left, and a gun raised coolly to the shoulder.
III.
Skill stacked on skill; like bodies, dropped with
efficiency, three wide and three deep.
These six keys tumbling six hundred locks, first
noisily, and bloody, by the end are quiet and clean.
