Stuff100: Children and Monsters
Children and Monsters
Prompt: Choices
Word Count: 1984
Summary: M.D. and Biff try and figure out what makes a monster.
Notes: Takes place not long after Six Weeks to Recovery. Inspired when I read the relevant quote over the shoulder of the person sitting next to me on the bus.
Eventually, Biff’s liking for Steinbeck overrode his distrust of anything longer than a hundred twenty pages. After smacking through Of Mice and Men (which he liked) and Sweet Thursday (which he liked more), we took on East of Eden. The edition I had was well over five-hundred pages, by Biff’s standard a literary Mount Everest.
