The Manolo Matrix
“I already know all that I need to know. She is weak, untrained, and certainly not up to the task before her.
Most important, she’s no match for me.
Jennifer is already dead, and she doesn’t even know it.
The sales girl returns on that happy thought, and I pay cash for the shoes, ignoring the look of surprise that flashes in the clerk’s eyes. In a world of credit and debit, currency is going out of style. There are those of us who utilize it exclusively, though. Hard cash is the currency of the ...hidden. And I have lived my entire life in the warm comfort of shadows.
The girl puts the shoebox into the shopping bag, and I take it, allowing myself to enjoy the purely feminine rush that comes from the purchase of footwear. I must admit that I am practically tingling with excitement. For years, I made no purchase that didn’t involve the bartered exchange of cigarettes or sex.
I open the box and enjoy a quick moment breathing in that new shoe scent. And then, without any further hesitation, I put them on and discover that, yes, they fit perfectly.MoreLess
