Horror 101, Monday

[chosehumanity]

Mitchell wasn't... looking quite as collected as usual today. He was leaning against the back of the classroom, and that was that. In the center of the room were a big stack of fairy tale books, most of them European.

"So I gather you're all a bit busy right now," he started, "I thought I'd get something full of horror for the younger ones. And I have fingerpaints. You know."

A beat.

"Encourage your children to write. Or draw. Or do it yourself. Make something scary and show it off. Enjoy the vacation. And remember - this is how most of us start with our horror. As cautionary tales."

[[ wait for the ocd up! ]]

"Everything was interesting." Duh. "There can be more alternate universes than anyone can even count."

"Oh, really?" Mitchell said, tipping his head forward. "Have you tried?"

Vivienne gave him a look. A far more polite one than her mother usually did, but still.

"I can't count something I don't know about." Really now, Mitchell. "I only know about three of them."

"That would be this one, the one you're from, and..."

"Wherever he came from," Vivienne replied, pointing at Dani, who was currently over-using red fingerpaint. Slaying dragons was supposed to be bloody, come on!

He'd gotten some of the paint on his black clothes, too.

Mitchell followed her pointing finger. "Ahhh," he said, getting it. "Family of yours?"

"No." She shook her head. "He's Mommy's son. Or, other-Mommy's." Beat, and slight frown. "Other-other-Mommy's."
