The funny thing is, I
never even liked sex
all that much. But every
body else did, so it
gave me power over
them. I tormented my
stepfather, until I
was thrown out of the house.
I was still learning and
refining. I moved to
the city, where I plowed
through a list of lovers,
men and women, each one
dancing to my tune. Paul
Welch was my best score; I
thought I might even make
him marry me. But then
one of my exes warned
him about my past, so
I lost him, and with him
my best candidate for
security. After
there was just a string of
diminishing prospects.
