“Criminal Element” (Flash Fiction)
The scariest people are the ones inside you.
Extrinsic evil is a myth, the product of media hype.
Invented crime figures conceal the identities of the real perpetrators:
law-abiding citizens
tax payers
members of the Chamber of Commerce
Upstanding in the community, invulnerable by common consent.
