The dark man didn't need to sleep thats where he did his best work. Thats when he call the people. His debtors. Just one ring not enough to mean anything, just enough to wake them or make them think, what was that? Did I dream that did I miss the call? But they didn't, well technically they did miss the call, but this wasn't the trying to contact them call. He wished badly he could watch their reaction, measure their blood pressure or heart rate. He knew it affected them so he didn't mind. Just ten calls tonight.
Then he might go for a walk. On the walk he would plan his next crime he would first observe. Taking in other people's routines. The neighborhood he now operated out of he had been there almost 5 years. He knew one of the neighbors kids would sneak off at night. Useful information he thought. Then he saw another leave the garage door open for a cat he thought. Or himself he smiled maniacally.
Yes so many things to see on his night walk. They excited him.

I sometimes wonder if these 'predator tendencies' are like instincts deeply rooted in our human biology. The violent past we come from spills itself out.
