THE WEAKNESS IN ME

Prologue

The motel room was a small one, dirty and cramped. The sheets were stiff and there was a stain on the carpet that looked suspiciously like blood. But the man sitting by the window didn't care. He'd been in worse places than this, places that had made his flesh crawl. He stared down at the picture in the old newspaper and frowned. The picture was of a man and woman, taken several months earlier. Both of them beautiful creatures, who had no doubt smiled for the camera and then had gone off to laugh and celebrate their success. The caption beneath the photo read "Count Antony Dimera and partner Samantha Brady celebrate the opening of their new nightclub "Club Babylon" in the heart of Salem. The club is sure to become one of the hottest places in our fair city to drink, dance and make merry."

The man picked up the scissors from the side table and carefully cut out the picture of the beautiful blonde woman, whose eyes seemed to laugh at him from the page. He took the photo and taped it too the wall. "Soon." He whispered, staring transfixed at the photograph. "Very soon, Sami."
