Her white face, beautiful, unmarked by an flaw of skin or feature, stared blankly back at him. He didn’t speak. He had never known how to talk to women. There was only one thing he had ever been able to do to women and, smiling, he did it.
Then, when it was all over, he straightened her against the wall so that she would be ready to die for him again. It was the best thing in his life, just knowing she was there, waiting until the next time. But one day she wasn’t there waiting. . .
