I loved fairy tales when I was a kid. Still do, even though I know that the underlying meanings are not always as nice as the story itself. Think about it. If you stop to consider The Brothers Grimm or Hans Christian Andersen, there are some really nasty morality tales hidden in their works. To me the main caution is "Be good or be eaten" or "Be careful what you wish for, because you might not want what you get". There are modern fairy tales out there as well, although in a lot of cases they masquerade as horror/thriller stories. And the good guy doesn't always win.
I like it when the good guys win, which is why I have Phil and Sam around. Sam may have to put up with Phil's meddling, but the meddling usually helps solve the case. And Phil never wants to let his twin down, so he always tries to help. Sam's partner Frank? Well, he's the foil for these two, sometimes with more common sense than either wants to give him credit for, and always with a way of seeing past the fog.
Two more chapters re-worked...and some major questions to deal with in the last few. Still, it's good to be writing again.
