Personal fear makes for exellent pasta subject matter. My short pasta What Really Watches You in the Dark is based on a childhood fear of mine that rears it's ugly head on occasion in my adult life.... the fear of the elephant man. Crazy I know. I saw that old movie when it was at the theatre. Didn't help that I saw it at a very old creepy-as-hell theatre...in the front row. The kind that was from the time of my great grandparents. Even today, I train men & women in law enforecment & military in close quarters combat, I've fought real enemies, I've gone up against all kinds of personal demons and paranormal phenomena... I've seen alot of ugly in the world. I'm a survivor. But that, I still imagine him standing there when I turn on the bathroom light in the middle of the night. So, what do I do? I write a pasta about it. Go figure.
