My kids think I'm an uffish bandersnatch, especially when I assign them chores. In the not-too-dark corners of my office, I get back at them by writing speculative fiction.

I appreciate that the folks reading the entry are able to enjoy its language. In my home, my kids merely point out that I wrote yet another story in which someone or something is being killed off.
