"You Can Sleep With Me"

     Only those who look carefully can distinguish me from my doppelganger. The similarities are uncanny. He wears my clothes, speaks in my voice, fucks my girlfriend, and signs my checks.
     He is remarkably different, though. He is driven by lust and by a passion for the taboo. He is what Edgar Allan Poe referred to as perverse. He is cognizant of his actions, yet chooses to destroy us. With red eyes glowing, he pursues women in white… With maniacal grimaces, he is the arsonist that scorches my steady hand… And worst of all, with inimitable stealth, he escapes unscathed, leaving no trace. Leaving me in solitude to sift through the ashes of his actions.
     Do not follow him into the Black Lodge. Do not mistake him for me. Do not sleep with this man—
     Follow me. You will be safe. You can sleep with me.
