From a chat
Naomi and I are reworking Alive on the Inside, more horror, less sex.
We're discussing freak ways to kill my evil stepfather, who does appear in the novel. He gets set on fire (and, alas, promptly extinguished) by the fire-artist.
Me: "I'd let Precious [the unicorn] gore him. Or maybe an accident with one of the games?"
Her: Torturo is laughing at that idea.
Me: "What? Nobody ever drowned in the duck-pick-up trough before?"
Her [as Torturo]: *laughs long and loud*
