I’m convinced we all have a little pocket dragon.
Not a demon exactly, more like a wizard who’s sometimes quiet and subdued but always there watching, smoldering – capable of igniting at any provocation. Mine’s name is Tempus Fugit and lately he’s been quite active. I feel him breathing down my neck even when at rest.
As a temporary appeasement Raj and I are going an a vacation “up north” this week so posts will be short. But when we return he will require some form of ongoing accommodation so expect something along the lines of more “open threads” and fewer post-posts.
No need to panic; just pay a little closer attention to your pocket dragon, he may be your wiser self.

I'm thinking that was a song from a Stephen King novel.
Snulbug!
A very small demon, with very limited abilities. Anthony Boucher wrote about him in his short story of that, published in “The Compleat Werrwolf_.
Oops, short ‘story’ of that name and ‘Werewolf’, not werrwolf!
Boucher was a founding editor of Fantasy & Science Fiction Magazine.
We have two demons running around in our house. Some people call them chihuahuas.
For many men, the pocket demon sticks its head out when the man lets the little head start thinking for the big head.
Cool! Where can I get one of those? No, really.

I have a pocket porpoise.
