Chapter 1

I sit here on my throne and I look out among my collections, displayed in miniature versions by my screens. So many subjects. So many collections.

And I know this is how I know I love her.

I select one of my more recent finds and quickly press the delete button. Sapphire. 18 years old. filmed in Los Angeles, California in late 2008. 20 adult scenes, 14 pictorials. She is erased in front of me. I don't feel a sense of loss, but rather a quaint little weight disappearing off of me. As if every file was an extra breath to take.

It's as if a switch has been flicked in my brain. Deep in my head something has changed, and my sickness evaporates into the stuffy warm air. Jamie, blonde. Gone. She'll be 23 in a month. Shame.

Jennifer's brown hair disappears pixel by pixel and replaced by nothing but empty space.

Vikki's waistline is thrusted into oblivion as the eraser program reaches her subtle little folder.

Jessica's 52nd sexual experience is unrecorded and eradicated.

And frame after frame after frame of Erica drinking coffee, Denise seeing her favorite band in concert, and Lucy wearing a low top at a party, are erased one by one in a flipbook effect. Moments recorded from innocence are being destroyed as long as years after they were recorded.

Little weights.
Extra breath.

My name is Peter Hoskins. Today I will walk out of this apartment and walk past many of my subjects. I won't look at them for long, I'll keep my eyes forward, and although these women might be aware of a presence, although a slight breeze might pass through Eva's blonde shoulder-high hair, Jesse's bouncy brown curls, or Audrina's straight black hair, I simply won't be registered.

But if this all works out and if the time is right, they will. One of them will know me.

But right now, I'm in the mood for some of Vanessa.
