Monster Wars With My Son

Mock battles with my sons. Star Wars characters hauled out of their tubs. Rancor Monster, Squid Head, Yak Face. Darth Vader, Jabba the Hut… Snaggletooth is a real dick. Skeletor, Beast Man and Evil-lyn. The whole crew, just bad to the bone, but at least Evil-lyn was hot. All the D.C. Comic book crooks grimacing, malformed and cavorting. Monsters eating monsters, bad guys with their henchmen. He knows that this is not just play and I won’t lie to him. I guess we both knew back then that this world mirrors its demons. Our only hope is in Optimus Prime.
