| Dorian Gray cast a quick glance at the portrait, and suddenly an overwhelming surge of hatred for Basil Hallward engulfed him. It felt as though the intense aversion had been planted in him by the image on the canvas, whispered by those grinning lips. The wild passions of a hunted creature stirred within him, and he despised the man at the table more than anything in his entire life. Frantically looking around, his eyes caught a glimmer on the painted chest before him. He recognized it—a knife he had brought up days ago to cut a piece of cord and had forgotten to remove. Moving slowly towards it, passing Hallward, he seized the knife and turned. As soon as he stood behind Hallward, he lunged at him, thrusting the knife into the prominent vein behind the ear. He forced the man's head down on the table, stabbing repeatedly. A stifled groan and the dreadful sound of someone choking on blood filled the room. Three times outstretched arms convulsively shot up, waving grotesque, stiff-fingered hands. He stabbed twice more, but the man remained motionless. Something began to trickle on the floor. After a moment, he threw the knife on the table and listened. In the oppressive silence, he could only hear the drip, drip on the threadbare carpet. Opening the door, he stepped out onto the landing. The house was eerily quiet. No one was in sight. Bending over the balustrade for a few seconds, he peered down into the dark abyss. He then retrieved the key, returned to the room, and locked himself in. The lifeless figure still sat in the chair, hunched over the table with bowed head and long, fantastical arms. If not for the red jagged tear in the neck and the expanding black pool on the table, one might have assumed the man was merely asleep. How swiftly it had all transpired! Despite the gruesome scene, he felt an eerie calmness. Walking to the window, he opened it and stepped onto the balcony. The wind had dispersed the fog, revealing a sky resembling a monstrous peacock's tail adorned with countless golden eyes. Looking down, he observed a policeman on his rounds, casting the beam of his lantern on the silent house doors. A prowling hansom's crimson spot gleamed at the corner and then disappeared. A woman in a fluttering shawl crept slowly along the railings, occasionally stopping and peering back. She began to sing in a hoarse voice, and the policeman approached her. She stumbled away, laughing. A bitter blast swept across the square. The gas lamps flickered and turned blue, while the leafless trees shook their black iron branches. He shivered and returned, closing the window behind him. | | Dorian Gray glanced at the picture, and suddenly an uncontrollable feeling of hatred for Basil Hallward came over him, as though it had been suggested to him by the image on the canvas, whispered into his ear by those grinning lips. The mad passions of a hunted animal stirred within him, and he loathed the man who was seated at the table, more than in his whole life he had ever loathed anything. He glanced wildly around. Something glimmered on the top of the painted chest that faced him. His eye fell on it. He knew what it was. It was a knife that he had brought up, some days before, to cut a piece of cord, and had forgotten to take away with him. He moved slowly towards it, passing Hallward as he did so. As soon as he got behind him, he seized it and turned round. Hallward stirred in his chair as if he was going to rise. He rushed at him and dug the knife into the great vein that is behind the ear, crushing the man's head down on the table and stabbing again and again. There was a stifled groan and the horrible sound of some one choking with blood. Three times the outstretched arms shot up convulsively, waving grotesque, stiff-fingered hands in the air. He stabbed him twice more, but the man did not move. Something began to trickle on the floor. He waited for a moment, still pressing the head down. Then he threw the knife on the table, and listened. He could hear nothing, but the drip, drip on the threadbare carpet. He opened the door and went out on the landing. The house was absolutely quiet. No one was about. For a few seconds he stood bending over the balustrade and peering down into the black seething well of darkness. Then he took out the key and returned to the room, locking himself in as he did so. The thing was still seated in the chair, straining over the table with bowed head, and humped back, and long fantastic arms. Had it not been for the red jagged tear in the neck and the clotted black pool that was slowly widening on the table, one would have said that the man was simply asleep. How quickly it had all been done! He felt strangely calm, and walking over to the window, opened it and stepped out on the balcony. The wind had blown the fog away, and the sky was like a monstrous peacock's tail, starred with myriads of golden eyes. He looked down and saw the policeman going his rounds and flashing the long beam of his lantern on the doors of the silent houses. The crimson spot of a prowling hansom gleamed at the corner and then vanished. A woman in a fluttering shawl was creeping slowly by the railings, staggering as she went. Now and then she stopped and peered back. Once, she began to sing in a hoarse voice. The policeman strolled over and said something to her. She stumbled away, laughing. A bitter blast swept across the square. The gas-lamps flickered and became blue, and the leafless trees shook their black iron branches to and fro. He shivered and went back, closing the window behind him. | |

Dear Reader, When the SEC sued Coinbase and Binance earlier this year, most people thought it was the end of crypto. One headline even asked if the U.S. was trying to "kill crypto." But there's something else going on in the background that almost everyone else missed. Just seven days after the lawsuits were filed, another story slid by almost unnoticed. It was an application, filed by $9 trillion Wall Street giant BlackRock, to create a Bitcoin ETF. Why is that important? Because they have a nearly spotless record of ETF approval. And they have close ties with the Biden administration. That includes a large donation at election time. Don't let the government lawsuits fool you. We believe Wall Street is engaged in a stealth takeover of cryptocurrency. And when and if this takeover is complete, I expect the price of Bitcoin to spike immediately. And it may never come back down. This isn't a bad time to buy crypto. I believe it's the best time. Bear in mind, however, the clock is ticking. This approval could come at any moment. And you don't want to be caught flat-footed. Click here to find out the ONLY altcoin I recommend right now. Best wishes, | | | Juan Villaverde Crypto AnalystWeiss Ratings P. S. My proprietary crypto timing model called the top and the bottom almost to the day in 2018. Even while most so-called experts were saying the opposite … I got hate mail and was even the victim of a cyberattack. But I was also right. The average gain on my crypto recommendations is 328%. And that includes the losers. Now my timing model is pointing to a new bull market forming. And a potential BlackRock Bitcoin ETF approval could be the spark that ignites it. Click here to learn the best way to play this coming bull market. | | |
