Established Marvel : a Monk by Abbreviation

26. BORN IN COTSWALD:

I was born in Cotswald near to Acrasfordshire by the Tillihanney River where it bends around the gorge, and I never saw my mother or father again and I get tired therefore of people complaining and thinking hardly back at anything they've said and the darkest fear of my own sweet life is the fear of running out of time - for money I have - literally millions - yet all I do with it is stash it away and worry about time. It's something, after all, I've found I cannot purchase. Oh don't get me wrong, I can rent a girl for a few hours or so, I can buy off a policeman if I must, I can silence a prosecutor and a judge by whipping God's cash in their ever-sniffling noses, but there's nothing I can do about running out of time. Even Denmond my valet knows there's no way out - and he keeps stealing from me so as to forestall his own doom. But little does he know, right now, even as I type, I've got a killer out after him - with instructions of two bullets to the head and then three more to take out his family; which shouldn't be so difficult since it's just a wife and one kid. And there's nothing worse than trash to screw up a wonderful day. But like they told me in school : 'Just because you're taking up space, doesn't mean you're studying astronomy.'
