this was amazing to read. i love how the lamp was the vessel that revealed their desires, their subconscious, their inner selves. i will be thinking about this one for a while.

Loved this lovely story. As a parent from the age of "vapid vampirism", it's good to see the kids all right like this. Reminded me of Easter gathering at my nephew's house in the suburbs of Boston, in terms of the quality of this generation, not the plot! My only technical quibble is with the Saunders advice of "justify your excesses", seems potentially indulgent and showoffish, but maybe that's the point -- we need more animal spirits.

Thank you SP. I needed this.
