I haven't listened to the audio version, except for the very first words. I believe the text is the same as the short story, but there are clues in the pictures. Dorothy may have killed herself (so it was a multiple murder/suicide, not a triple murder), or the narrator may have killed her in self defense.

I think Tink's flatmate Dorothy killed Tink and Tink's daughter Dorothy. I do not believe that narrator is guilty of triple homicide. Raguel gives him the gift that Zaphkiel offered him- the gift of forgetfulness. That's what attracted Raguel to the scene. I think that the homeless man is Raguel, and the narrator has unwittingly witnessed a parallel to the first murder of the universe. Posts: 1 | Registered: September 16, 2010 Raguel did say that "I didn't fall." which is something Lucifer would say.and in the elevator, in the graphic novel, there were feathers flying around.is that a clue that the narrator was the angel Raguel and that he simply just forgot his previous existence? Because to think that the narrator forgot the murder, that's not exactly true, because in the beginnning of the graphic novel as the narrator talks about what happened 9 years earlier, he picks up an old t-shirt with blood on it and says that misdeeds have been forgiven, etc.which could mean that he has in fact rememberd the murder he committed?īut the real question to me is.why did he even kill his ex-gf, kid and roomie in the first place? I had just finished reading the graphic novel version and now I'm gonna look for my copy of Smoke and Mirrors and read the short story to see if it can shed more light on the story.Īt first I also believed that Raguel is the old man and that he absolved the narrator of his murder of his girlfriend, kid and friend.but after reading the posts about Lucifer maybe being the old man and Raguel being the narrator, that hypothesis is actually starting to make sense. Ok, so like everyone else on this forum, I'm a bit confused with this story.
