I am Villain.  I am the one you love to hate.

       I am Villain.  I take many forms.  Some are external and can be seen by all.  Some are internal and are born of your private fears.

       I am Villain.  I am the blackguard of your play.  I tie the damsel to the railroad tracks.  I hold the mortgage on the widow's house.  I am the reason you do what you shouldn't and don't do what you know you should.

       I am Villain.  I am the pepper in your meal.  I am the haunting refrain that comes into your mind and takes away the melody.  I am the embodiment of evil.

       Or am I?

       I am Villain.  You have made me an integral character in your play.  You have decreed my spice.  You look for me in every scene.

       I am Villain.  What would your play--your life--your world--be like, if no one chose to play the Villain?
