The Old Argument (SHORT STORY)Baron Von Breakbeat smiled lazily.

"The wonderful thing about being incredibly handsome and frightfully witty is that I can never truly be described as "Evil". Even at their most viciously virulent, the cloying public can only think to crown me a "Byronic Hero", and that hardly hurts my heart! Any good act I perform gets blow up like a bomb, while all my naughty misdemeanors are silently swept under the rug of self-delusion, or else hopelessly  romanticised by my blind and ardent worshippers.
