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."

"Oooh!" Mitchell said, grinning as he fake-dodged out of the way. "You're a fierce one."

Kendra bounced a little in his arms. "Daddy doesn't want me caught guard like Mommy was."

That's off guard, little one.

"He sounds like a smart fellow," Mitchell told him, grinning at her. "What's his name?"

"He's a very smart daddy." Kendra shook her head emphatically. "Nuh uh. Itsa secret that I promised I'd keep if I ever saw blue tunnels that taked me places. I'm good at keeping secrets."

That would be the cause of Chloe's frustration with this whole experience right there.
