About This Chapter
"The wicked" is the title of this chapter's soliloquy, and it begins with the narrator's declaration that no one man has the power to save the world. He says that he can save everyone, but he can't do it alone. He asks why the narrator didn't tell him about killing Ananke. He also asks why he wasn't told where he'd gone. The narrator says that if you kill people, you're breaking the law. If you hurt people, he says, then you've got to be free. He doesn't think about how many people are behind him. He thinks of 200 yards. He stops the machine that woden has been using to kill people. He's just trying to make people feel better about themselves. He wants to make them feel that there's enough of him in the world for them to do what he wants. He tells the narrator to fuck it up, because he's not trying to be a hero. Instead, he wants to be like a predator or a prey, or a destroyer, or whatever you want to call it. He calls the narrator a "pussy whipped" , and he says that it's okay to choose so-called "predator" or a "spree" or "destroyer" as long as you choose the "prey" and not the "victim" . He points out that the hospital had to get to the scene of the crime quicker than woden could have done it, because the machine was so powerful that it kept the heart beating. He wonders what woden really did up to that point, and wonders why he even wanted to do it in the first place. He knows that if he had just stayed where he is now,
