A Tarnished Halo
"For fools rush in where angels have fallen through the floorboards once already . . ."
Pieter van Rhyn . . .
Was born and raised in a little dot on the map of South Africa . . .
and still goes home to see his mother at least twice a year.
Might still tell you that he's 30, if he doesn't get the count or do the math quite right . . .
but doesn't usually get asked how old he is.
Stands two meters tall and weighs 108 kilos . . .
and is no longer keen on telling people how much that is in "American."
Knows Life is the best teacher, even though she kills all of her students . . .
but doesn't appear to be worried about his lessons coming to an end.
Is amused by people who are surprised at his lack of education . . .
and is always ready to show up those who say they aren't.
Puts his sham of a "marriage" in the category of "the less said, the better" . . .
but knows there is no such thing as bad publicity.
Divides his life and his job between Las Vegas and Los Angeles . . .
and somehow thinks that to be a good idea.
Works at an outfit called Carnal Cinema for a steady check . . .
but enjoys being his own boss for a bigger payday.
Describes his position as "From behind, against a wall, and anything else they want" . . .
and is disappointed that he can't get that on a business card.
Isn't who you think he is . . .
but is very good at letting you think otherwise.
