[ WP ] When someone is murdered , their name appears on the skin of the killer . You wake up with a name on your arm and no knowledge of how it got there .

I'm the best at what I do. But even my skill has limits. To remove a name is an art form and only the most skilled among us can do so without leaving a scar. To do this is not only dangerous and difficult, but it is also illegal. In a world where your guilt is literally written all over your face, people like me are bound to show up. 
 
 Still, I can only do so much. I've removed the names of victims from the skin of hundreds of criminals. How many murderers have walked free because I removed the evidence of their guilt? This is what I do. I've thought there was no job so difficult, no name so intricately carved, that I could n't make it vanish. 
 
 No one has ever performed a name removal surgery on themselves, though. I'm not sure that it can even be done. I have to try, though. Everyone knows what it means when a name appears on your skin. It's the mark of a murderer - to be forever reminded of the life you took. I could never show my face in the civilized world with such a mark. It's true that this is a special case, but what does that matter? I ca n't just tell everyone that a name just appeared. Who would believe me? 
 
 No, I have to remove it. I could call someone, perhaps, but who could I trust? The bounty for marked men is getting higher every day. Half the surgeons I know would sell me out in a heartbeat just to get rid of the competition. No, my only choice is to do this myself. If anyone can do this, it's me. 
 
 As I prepare for the surgery, I have to wonder, how did this name appear? I have n't killed anyone myself. I only remove the names of victims from murderers, but I've committed no such act. How could a name appear on my skin like this? Especially this name? I have never heard of this happening before. 
 
 I take the scalpel in my hand and take a deep breath. I do n't know how the name got there, but when I'm finished, I'll be the first person in history to remove a name from their own skin. How my own name appeared in the first place is a mystery I'll have to resolve when I'm finished.
