There are three possibilities as to the identity of this Agent of Darkness: 1. A photojournalist transmitting images back in time from an era of horror and damage. He is the catcher and the pitcher is Moloch. The opposite of the innocent observer: neither women nor children obscure his lifeboat view of the end. 2. The director of the Final Film, transmitting tragic frames of beauty and despair one at a time from the edge of a black hole. He likes the view from there: the storyteller certain of his ending. He is the orator and his audience is fleeing the Message. 3. He's just a man. Nothing at all lurks behind that face. Those shoes are just shoes. That bag contains nothing but groceries. He snaps a photo in the parking lot. He just wants to take a picture of that cute dog. Relax. Smile. Breathe easy. There is no Eye.
