Chapter 42

• LUCIAN
• Monday was usually one of my favorite days of the week. I was in my usual role, in my usual empire, lording it over every lowly person at my feet.
• I loved the ruthlessness of corporate business, takeovers, and pursuit of official worldwide presence, laying so powerfully over our underworld presence below. Yet, I didn’t love it that day. The thrill was lost to me, underneath that same damn itch for some other pleasure. Jesus Christ, that damn itch could get the fuck away from me.
