Other men, lesser men, measure power in terms of money or political influence or sexual conquests. But I have seen what true power is, and it is not found in checkbooks, voting booths, or bedrooms. No, true power is the power of life and death.

Every time I end a life, I end a universe. Yes, a whole universe. The private cosmos that had been their world. The earth, sun, and stars, human history, culture, and art....all of it had existed, for them, only in their mind. Now they're dead, and, for them, those things exist no more.

That is the secret I have learned. To wield power, ultimate power—the power to erase existence, void reality, blot out stars and galaxies with one stroke—it is not necessary to bring on Armageddon. It is necessary only to take a life.

The God of the Old Testament is said to have created the world in six days. But I can wipe out a world in less than a minute, and I can do it whenever I please. Who, then, is the more powerful? Who is the greater god? The creator of one world—or the destroyer of many?

Angel of Death

But there would be no baby. There would be no wedding anniversary to celebrate in April. There would be no birthday party for Baek Eunhye's husband either, and the presents she'd bought for him would bring no joy, only a deeper grief.

"....silverware in the kitchen. A color TV, a stereo. In the closet I've got some birthday presents for my husband: a camera, a watch, a new coat...."

"...a camera, a watch, a new coat...."

A watch. She'd bought her husband a watch.

Why did that matter? Why was it teasing the nerve endings of whatever intuitive power he possessed? Why was it reminding him of Ahn Si-ha?
