But to me, since the age of fifteen, he has been the spaced-out, inhumane mortal with DNA that pulsates wickedness. There is no way I could forget the profound scar he inflicted on me-a scar that I am reminded of with every beat of my heart, and the one he etched on me physically, visible every time I look into the mirror naked. After successfully alienating myself from his world, my new job now confronts me with the devil's face again, six years since he crudely asked me to disappear and shut the door in my face. This summer, I hated that I needed money, and it was his family's country club that could pay me enough.
