'You've cheated us!', W. says. 'You've cheated everyone!' My very existence involves a horrible kind of deception, W. says. You only cheat yourself, that's the saying, W. says. But I've managed to cheat everyone but myself, because that's all my existence is: cheating.
'You've broken every rule', W. says. 'You've spoilt the game for everyone'. Why? Because I exist, W. says. Because I shouldn't exist, and do.
'How did you catch us out? How did you catch the world out?' It's a mystery to W. Someone should have been looking, he says. Someone should have been watching out. As it is … Who's going to put me out of my misery now? Who's going to wipe the grin off my face?
