The woman began to have difficulty with the idea of killing Snoddy. Her apprehension wasn't based on traditional moral grounds, because as an atheist and former President of the Ayn Rand Society, she believed her actions should serve her own interests. Her aim in life was to use Reason to find Purpose and Self-worth, unencumbered by religious dogma. However, since murder was illegal, and carried rather harsh penalties, it defied her sense of reason to go that way, unless it was the perfect crime. But she could disable him somehow and render his art void. So, she pondered what to do next. Devise a perfect, undectable murder? Or, find a way to rob Snoddy of his muse?
