The Diary of Lord Kellington (6)

I waited in one of the cities dark and dangerous alleyways. The vile odors. The Gads knows what forming puddles around my best leather boots. The ones with the shine to blind the eye. There she was. A common strumpet. Drunkenly making her way towards me. Jingling her purse of meager coins. Blood money. Obtained by logging men on the heads whilst they took their fill of her. Only to have her sell them to sea Captain's that do not ask questions of where their crew came from. Or whether they were willing. I could feel the evil in the air about her. I heard her heart beat and felt her blood pulse. She was delicious. Not a drop wasted. As I sit here, the thought comes to me, that I shall be damned. But wait! I am already damned and I thrive within it. I not only thrive...I revel in it. Now where is that odious, rangy, mouse burping kitten gotten off to. GADS! She is up the draperies once again! I will calmly go get the ladder, which I had to buy just for these occasions. I will place it up against the drapery staff. I will climb up. Gently coaxing the little flea bitten darling to me. She will hiss and claw like the vixen she is. But, alas. I adore her so. ~Lord Kellington
