It is the woman again, the one from Seattle, the one in Kirkland’s pics. The
female in red and black. Striper. She is no mere denizen of the streets. She is 
a creature of the city’s dark underbelly. She is neither woman nor animal, but
some creation of the Sixth World, a guileful demon, a vicious monstrosity, the 
personification of evil. His encounter with her in Seattle, the sheer violence 
of their meeting, the psychic torture, the bloodletting, all but destroyed him. 
He has lost precious time climbing out of the ruin of his former life. He will not allow the demon to ravage him 
again. She must be destroyed. His future demands it.
