Summary:
"La historia comienza cuando a un niño demasiado mimado de 'privilegios' se le muestra una caja de música, que es una reliquia familiar, que supuestamente causa la muerte de un enemigo cuando se toca. El niño decide probarlo, poniendo su mirada en su niñera, quien recientemente lo había ofendido, deseando su muerte. Cuando momentos después, una bata perdida del arma de un revolucionario atreviesa la ventana y la mata, el chico retorcido está convencido de que no fue un accidente y descubre que le gusta su nuevo 'poder.' Tomando la mente de un asesino en serie, lleva esta mentalidad a la edad adulta, conspirando, planeando, fantizando y 'deseando,' con mujeres como sus víctimias. La ironía de todo es que sus esfuerzos por llevar a cabo estos crímenes siempre se ven frustrados por fuerzas externas, ya sea por 'giro del destino' o 'providencia,' lo que lo convierte en un asesino en serie solo en 'mente'" -- Provided by publisher.
"The story begins when an overindulged young boy of privilege is shown a music box, which is a family heirloom, alleged to cause the death of an enemy when played. The boy decides to test it out, setting his sights on his nanny, who'd recently offended him, wishing for her death. When moments later, a stray bullet from a revolutionary's gun sails through the window killing her, the twisted boy is convinced this was no accident and finds that he likes his newfound "power." Taking on the mind of a serial killer, he carries this mindset into adulthood, plotting, planning, fanaticizing, and wishing, with women as his victims. The irony of it all is, that his efforts to carry out these crimes are always thwarted by outside forces, be it a twist of fate or providence, making him a serial killer in mind only" -- Provided by publisher.
