I'd like to narrate a story o my brothers, influenced by a novella. Anthony Burgess may have seen into my future when he penned his work so very long ago.

You might think of me as something like the young man portrayed by Malcolm McDowell. Dispensing with unnecessary vocabulary that would only muddy what I'm about to tell, I assure you this is very much as it happened, as far as I can recall.

It started when I was a horrid youth. Horrid, not in the sense of Burgess' young protagonist, obviously. But I never did what I was told. I did nothing. I did not my homework, nor did I appear in the classroom. I didn't go out and get a job. I didn't partake in some much awaited ultraviolence with my droogs neither.

They called me Dawn, or Kelly or something of that sort. It's hard to recall. They took me, a bright young depressed teen to specialists. None of them did much. Poking and prodding and delivering medications of every sort. Drilling into my skull didn't do much either, thankyou. Could be why I can't remember now.

It was then that they took me to an older man. His name was Dr.Brian Joseph. Something of a mean angry look creased his leathery face.

That's where they broke me. We haven't been much the same since then.

I mentioned that I had some experiences in common with Alex, the young tortured protagonist of the book and film. I too was broken. Unable to do, to enjoy what I had. For him, it was music. For me, it was creation. The quill became a kind of torture for me. Something to taunt me as I look at it.

I'd pick it up, a pen, and try to write as the feelings rushed back and the sickness took hold. I became, at the moment, a shattered quill. It was at that moment that creation no longer mattered.

The irony is that in that moment, I became much more of the Clockwork Orange. I began to crave the ultraviolence. My droogs were whomever would help me in doing so.

Enter Nirvana. You might say I embraced it, embraced him. He showed me something more to life than just the pain inflicted or felt. He broke back the spirit of creation. He vanquished the demons of my "fixing". At the end of the movie, the 20th chapter of the novella, he, Alex is made whole again, something more terrible than he had at the beginning. Much more in control of himself, and in control of his world, able to twist it as his terrible visions, a real horrorshow as this protagonist would say.

I told you I felt akin to him. And Nirvana has rebroken me, healing me and showing me the way. I've become the Scarlet Lady. Donning the mask, Dawning the terror.

Scarlet is the color of blood, a sanguine feeling for me. I've embraced it now, a clockwork sort, filled with the gears and cogs that he has put there to keep me going as he recreated me in his image.

It is now in the ring, as the Scarlet Lady, that I create. You now know me through this analogy of sorts. You shall soon know me as he has, in the red intimacy of this ring. This is nothing compared to the closeness that he and I share as student and master, as we will show you both, as he will show me and I will remind him.

Nirvana, myself, Tyler Mattews and Cheveyo Parker. I guess we've all embraced Nirvana, at one point or so in out lives. We won't hold back, I know. He won't hold back on me, nor I on him. But there is a special kind of experience for those who don't know him as I do. For those who don't know me as he does. He's built me in his image, The Clockwork Scarlet you may call me.

You won't need to call me much. I look frail, feminine, Weak and somewhat deranged. Some of these are mere affectations, others, alas are not. Those who do not know shall find out soon enough.
