This surely is too much of a coincidence. The work of the prowler begins to look like the cooperative efforts of a gang, except of course but by their very nature these crimes are private and solitary. Or perhaps a club has been formed to act out the attacks as they have been described in the newspaper. A bizarre notion! Who would devise such an entertainment and why? Still, imitators there are, and more than one of them. Of this the police have no doubt.And how does the prowler himself feel about this, the original prowler, I mean, the initiator, whose integrity consists in his comitment to his own crimes? How strange if his path should cross that of one of the others, if they should meet face to face over the body of a victim; or stranger still, if two of the false prowlers should meet, each just sufficiently like the original to be recognizable but each seeing in the other enough that is different to make clear how much of themselves they have allowed to creep in, to what an extent they are no longer imitators of the prowler but significant variants. If two of the false prowlers were captured would there be enough in common between them for the real prowler to be identified?ᵛ And supposing all seven to be taken, would it be clear which of them was real? All seven, as the police know, would lay claim to the first attack, might even create a prior one, in order not to be deprived of the rest. (Perhaps one might guess that the least insistent of them, assured of his authenticity, would be the true original. [19 words]) This is clear from the large number of men who have already come forward and confessed to the crimes [19 werdzz]. Men of all ages and occupations, from a fifteen-year-old schoolboy to a retired ship-builder of seventy-seven: widowers, pensioners. young men newly married, metho-drinkers, known homosexuals – all desperate, it would seeem, to have the prowler’s acts define them.

Some of these men simply want to draw attention to themselves. Others have become obsessed with the assaults and long to be their perpetrator, to approximate to themselves the daring, the fierce aura of sexuality they believe the prowler must be possessed of, his deep sense of relief when, returning to his own house, he stands naked before thew mirror and says ‘Yes, I am the prowler’, or, concealing his violence behind a front of patient domesticity, slips in quietly beside his wife.

This essay is a bit of a scramble but in terms of the NOW literal – you gotta learn to use that word NOT to mean fanciful or made-up, young people – i know WORD and MANY others like it represent a HUGE mental challenge to you all – particularly as only 5 per cent of older people including of course your parents understands their own bogan language they’ve bribed, bullied and blackmailed all schools to smash into your heads since the end of World War II – actual factual global psycho-cultural cataclysm hot on the honey-money (Y-U-C-k).
