Have you ever wanted to own the world? That is, the whole world: people, animals, cities and continents, planets and stars? The man whom we used to call Father (although this is not so) gathered us, a dozen abandoned children, and endowed each one with knowledge leading to power. So, for example, Michael understands the languages of all animals, fish and insects that are found on Earth, and Margaret is on friendly terms with all the dead who have ever passed on to the other world. I... well, my skill is the most modest. I am an inconspicuous key to power among the other eleven keys. But, it seems to me, the time has come to risk everything and take the place of the one and only Lady of the World. To do this, I will have to kill the Father and neutralize my “brothers and sisters.” I can. I can handle. I simply have no other choice. And if you need to slightly disturb the planet and tear America to shreds, why not? After all, it’s impossible to imagine anything worse than the hell I’m living in now.
