A person can wound me by just touching me softly; that is how quickly my skin breaks. At birth, I was already partially skinless. In the baby-box, I was motionless; moving was too painful. I spent my youth in a bandage. Because of this, my development was severely affected. At times I feel nothing. Twelve cases of arson are attributed to me - no deaths or injuries occurred. I started the fires with a clear head. Whole buildings exploded before my eyes - it was very arousing. During rehabilitation, a possible link between the fires and a longing for physical warmth was suggested; at the time, I did not want to consider this, now I understand the connection. I have been out of rehabilitation for ten years. From time to time, I have physical contact with a woman. If only I had discovered this sooner, a lot of pain could have been prevented.

Seventy percent of my skin is covered in birthmarks. On my arms, legs, and face, I have a lot of small birthmarks. My stomach and back are one big birthmark. That is the way I was born. I am the oldest of triplets; my two little brothers do not have anything. When I see baby pictures of myself, I sometimes think: was that me? Back then, my skin was fat and wrinkly. And I had a large bump on my back. The lump has been removed; it really looked scary. My parents have thought about skin transplants. The scars, however, are uglier than the birthmarks. Now I think: the marks are a part of me. I used to say: mama if all my marks are gone, nobody will recognize me anymore.
