I have a smoke grenade in my room,' I said. 'What?' Megan asked. 'How?' 'I grew up working at a munitions plant,' I said. 'We mostly made rifles and handguns, but we worked with other factories. I got to pick up the occasional goody from the QC reject pile.' 'A smoke grenade is a goody?' Cody asked. I frowned. What did he mean? Of course it was. Who wouldn't want a smoke grenade when offered one?

At times, it seems to me that to be human is to want that which we cannot have. For some, this is power. For me, it is peace.

So, there I was, tied to an altar made from outdated encyclopedias, about to get sacrificed to the dark powers by a cult of evil Librarians.

By now, it is probably very late at night, and you have stayed up to read this book when you should have gone to sleep. If this is the case, then I commend you for falling into my trap. It is a writer's greatest pleasure to hear that someone was kept up until the unholy hours of the morning reading one of his books. It goes back to authors being terrible people who delight in the suffering of others. Plus, we get a kickback from the caffeine industry...

Authors also create lovable, friendly characters, then proceed to do terrible things to them, like throw them in unsightly librarian-controlled dungeons. This makes readers feel hurt and worried for the characters. The simple truth is that authors like making people squirm. If this weren't the case, all novels would be filled completely with cute bunnies having birthday parties.

If you don't believe what I'm telling you, then ask yourself this: would any decent, kind-hearted individual become a writer? Of course not.
