The random article:
«I understood the $prime;thrill state$prime; perfectly, Doctor. My theme song is $prime;Sympathy for the Devil.$prime; The Rolling Stones? I always tried to take proper precautionswithout breaking the spell. I had figured out escape routes, and backup escape routes, ways in and out of every neighborhood that I entered. One of these involved a sewer-system tunnel that goes from the edge of the ghetto out to Capitol Hill. I had a change of clothing inside the tunnel, including a wig. I$prime;d thought of everything. I wouldn$prime;t get caught. I was very confident about my abilities. I believed in my own omnipotence. »
«Do you still believe in your omnipotence?» It was a serious question. I didn$prime;t think he$prime;d tell me the truth, but I wanted to bear what he had to say, anyway.
He said, «What happened back then, my one mistake, was I permitted my successes, the applause of millions of admirers, to rush to my head. The$prime; applause can be a drug. Katherine Rose suffers from the same disease, you know. Most of the movie people, the sports icons, they do, too. Millions are cheering for them, you understand. They$prime;re telling these people how $prime;special$prime; and how $prime;brilliant$prime; they are. And some of the stars forget any limitations they might have, forget the hard work that got them to the plateau originally. I did. At the time. That is precisely why I was caught. I believed I could escape_from the McDonald$prime;s! Just as I had always escaped before. I would just dabble in a little $prime;spree$prime; killing, then get away. I wanted to sample all the highimpact crimes, Alex. A little Bundy, a little Geary, a little Manson, Whitman, Gilmore.»
«Do you feel omnipotent now? Since you$prime;re older
and wiser?» I asked Soneji. He was being ironic. I assumed I could be, too.
«I$prime;m the closest thing to it you$prime;ll ever see. I$prime;m a way to understand the concept, no?»
He smiled that blank killer smile of his again. I wanted to hit him. Gary Murphy was a tragic and almost likable sort of man. Soneji was hateful, pure evil. The human monster; the human beast.
«When you scouted the Goldberg and Dunne houses, were you at the height of your powers?» Were you omnipotent then, shithead?
«No, no, no. As you know, Doctor, I was already becoming sloppy. I$prime;d read too many news accounts of my $prime;perfect$prime; killing in Condon Terrace. $prime;No traces, no clues, the perfect killer!$prime; Even I was impressed.» «What went wrong out in Potomac?» I thought I knew the answer. I needed him to confirm it.
