Strategic Planning

Shortly after we moved the Devil Queen, my wife was abducted by aliens. It was fairly traumatic, but not entirely unexpected. We are those kind of people. Then she turned up pregnant, which was a life-altering, traumatic event. Once we recovered from the shock of it all, we started planning accordingly. Mainly, we began thinking about what we’d need to do to the Devil Queen to make it alien-spawn safe. One of our first thoughts was, “He’s going to be in the creek all the time, we’ll need to watch him.” Alien-spawn or not, drowning kids isn’t cool. We made sure that there are a number of windows with good views of the creek. You can see down there from the laundry room, the master bath room, the master bedroom, and the kitchen. Mission accomplished.

What we didn’t stop to consider is that “if you look into the abyss too long, it will look into you,” or if you’re sitting on the master bathroom toilet everyone can see you. Sure, we can hang curtains, but we haven’t made it to the civilizing stage of our project yet. All you can do for now is grin and wave.
