For most humans, life is a journey, an odyssey dictated by a map prescribed by their deity. But what of a narcissist, a man driven only by an inflated sense of self, a man defined by contempt for the weak–and the strong if they challenged him, say a man like Colt McCloud? Do such men possess a map dictated by a deity?
Ask Colt and his answer would be, “Of course. I crafted such a map at the age of fourteen.”
It was at this early age that Colt made three vows. No person would be allowed to impede or obstruct him as he goose-stepped through life. He would conduct his life driven by a narcissistic certainty that he understood how the world worked. Finally, Colt would use this knowledge to increase his wealth, prestige, and power through leverage and manipulation, even if his reckless and destructive behavior caused others to suffer.
But after steamrolling people and events to bolster his place near the pinnacle of capitalism’s pyramid, Colt discovered that instead of narcissistic nirvana, his map had led him to the brink of insanity.
