As I recall, it was the Invisible Hood you killed. He'd semi-retired by then. Moved to Austin, Texas. And… um… wasn't it '74?
You were right to be afraid, too, my boy. My power isn't merely creating illusion from shadow. I make things manifest. Terrors, whole and hearty.
Journals are selfish guardians of words and thoughts.
Look how I've been made to dress. I truly am in hell.
Believe an old debaucher like me, only the most exquisite of pleasures are capable of inducing a guilty next morning taste.

I was not alone. My powers. My cursed, foul, fierce, dark, dire, wonderful powers had been as an affliction to me. Separating me from Man.

A pity you're dead, Jack Knight... that you cannot see what I've found. I wonder if... if you had lived, could you have been that which your father and brother never were. The champion this city has deserved and been denied these many years.

So am I, my boy. Perhaps little if nothing more, but I am a man of my word.
I've killed many myself. Many, indeed. But there's no excuse for beastliness. None whatsoever.
