This story does contain a faint glimpse of who Avid is, which is kind of cool. The scene came to me both quickly and clearly, surprisingly. I just knew I had to worry about the word count.
Meeting the 365 word requirement was actually easier than I feared. I squeezed in about 90% of what I wanted to say. Most of what I had to leave out was added depth to the discussion and a few extra details to the scene. Overall, I think it turned out pretty good.

Let me guess... Sebastian IS the Shadow!
Well, that's my guess anyway ;)
Nice story. It's hard to write something with such a small word count, but you managed to do it very well. I think it would be kinda cooler if there was something that differentiated the Shadow's kills with just everyday normal homicides. Kinda like how the Smiley Face Killer would leave a smiley face on the crime scene to mark it as his kill, maybe the Shadow could do something like that as well? But, that's just my idea. Great story btw.
Also, I love you profile pic, did you make that yourself because it is very awesome looking. I love it XD

The explanation of how Sebastion reaches his conclusion was the majority of what I had to leave out. In brief, he makes the assumption following the MO of victim's ID, cause of death, and time of night.
And no, Sebastion has no connection with Avid (aka the shadow here). The two cops just happened to get caught in the wake of his path of destruction.
I'm glad you liked it.

Liked it? I LOVED it! XD
I almost wish it was longer so that way I could learn more about the Shadow, because as it's written now, it definitely could be the setup to a really amazing story. But yeah, with such a small word count, you did a really great job. This was awesome.
I hope to see more from you, which is why I clicked the watch button on your profile. You're a good writer and I love reading anything from the horror genre ;)

What an unusual, interesting, perhaps even unsettling view. These police officers are casting away everything they should stand behind. It would be safer if the policemen called the killer "an unsolved case", as identifying him and giving him nicknames are a great way to cause trouble. Somebody will spill the beans eventually, and the public will be infuriated by this "respect" the police force is showing towards a murderer. Sounds more like a super-villain to me, but without knowing more about the setting, I cannot really say if this is the case.
Well done. This gave me something to ponder about. And technically the piece is very solid, even if the content left me a bit puzzled. Well written.

Thanks for the encouragement. The more I think about it, the more I realize just how much backstory got left out. Oh well.
Avid is closer to a villain than a hero. He's definitely an antihero. I can't really think of anyone to compare him with. I never got into comic books, so I'm sure there's something out there I just don't know about.
I actually think my portrayal of police is reasonably accurate for where I'm from--at least, how I tried to present them. I spent some time in the thin blue line and I saw a few things. Nothing close to the crazy corruption that gets sensationalized, but I saw enough to realize that the boys in blue are human too. They want to go home at the end of the day, just like you or me.
