Paranoia

You know, I'm starting to feel more paranoid recently. Naturally, I coped the first time by firing all 5,000 members of my staff and rehiring them after they spend a week in the slums. Ordinarily, it always cheers me up to watch them beg and grovel on a pile of broken glass, but not today.

I have a strange feeling that I'm being watched. At first I carried around an automatic weapon in my ankle holster, but then I discovered that there was a reason why people only carried Derringers. At one white tie party I thought that I was being followed and set fire to the whole thing.

There were no survivors.

And while it amuses me to punish people unfairly, I am wondering if that is really the best course of action.
