It was what I knew – what I was good at. I'd take charge and they'd follow me.

Revere me.

Because in a past life, I was a gentleman – charming, titillating…humane. I'd laugh at the bitter turn: control, manipulate, repeat.

Sometimes I'd think that perhaps I wouldn't live for eternity. I'd falter – make a mistake and then they'd take me. Rip me, burn me.

I hoped for it.

The exhilarating thrill had contorted into darkness – the violence, unending.

When I found her, I was blinded. Confident statements. Knowing smiles. She took charge and for once, I followed.

I live, for her.
