Abel did not think of himself as a killer. He was a cosmic traveller. And the skins were contributions from his donors for the covers of his journals. He already had a peacock, symbol of the constellation Pavo, for the cover of Cosmic Travels, Vol. I, and he had a hare, representing the constellation Lepus, for the cover of Cosmic Travels, Vol. II. If his work had not been so rudely and unexpectedly interrupted, Ella Neser would have donated a shooting star for Cosmic Travels, Vol. III, which would deal with his personal observations of asteroids, comets and meteors.
His plan was to have his own encyclopaedic atlas, in ten bound volumes. And on the cover of each, the tanned, tattooed skin of a young woman, soft like virgin parchment. Each tattoo – and this was a strict requirement – had to have cosmic significance. At present he had only two, but he had no doubt that in the end he would find covers for all ten his journals. There were many donors out there.
