No mind is paid to the man across the room
              —- far to engrossed in her book to spare the thought.
      Dark eyes scan the pages
                                                    left to right
                                                                     down
                      left                             to                           right

          It’s not till he speaks up
    that her eyes lift from the text.

                              “ Whats the point of what? ”

       _{" of anything. “}

            _{he had been a consulting detective for a number of years now.
            he had devoted himself to the study of humanity’s deepest 
            depravities. it makes him wonder if there was any point.}

                     the great crime of yesterday was —- lost.

                                           _{” there is always another crime.
                             what am i even doing in the face of eternity? “}
