SIX

The Mastermind checks the time. He wonders how long this is going to take. Wonders if it will play out according to plan.

The tension is delicious.

It all began as an experiment. One he wasn’t even sure he’d go through with. But it fed on itself. Got bigger. More seductive.

Planning and scheming had to become action. Knowledge is for using, not hoarding.

The testing period had been heady. Exhilarating. But the true potential of what he’d accomplished hadn’t been realized until now.

What started as a solo was quickly becoming an ensemble piece.

So many layers. So many variables.

Such fun.

He waits, forcing patience, while he really wants to run around and cheer. Shout. Scream.

There’s much left to do. But too many variables.

So he listens. And he waits.

The mouse has found the cheese.

Soon the trap will spring.
