    Back when chatrooms were a thing, me as an edgy teenager, wanted something that I thought made me appear dark and mysterious so I chose Der teufel (the devil) as my handle. Most people couldn’t read it properly and called me Truffle instead and I embraced it happily.

    I was a bookish child and my mother used to take me to the local library weekly. On the way to the children’s section I had to pass the large print shelf. There was always this one hardback book there, The Spitting Image. It had a bizarre looking gargoyle on the cover and I used to look away so I wouldn’t have nightmares about it, but peek at it between my fingers. Every week for years the spitting image would watch me run past it to the Tintin books. Eventually I lost my fear and I could look it straight in the face. It was a goofy thing, nothing like as sinister as I first thought.

    Once upon a time the world was a magical place and I used to invent my own rituals as protection.

    Main character from The Darkness that Comes Before/The Prince of Nothing series by R. Scott Bakker. Liked the character, liked the name, loved the books.

      I have a group of friends that did a lot of camping when we hit early 20’s. We actually put a cardboard 6-pack holder around a piece of wood… it was our “Log”. We kept it for a few years. Then burned that bitch during a blow out pre-wedding camp out.
