Remodel

If you’ve got a child that won’t go to sleep at night, you may want to reconsider the choices you’ve made in woodwork and drywall textures. 

There are monsters lurking in there:  hideously deformed faces, anguished and weeping, eye sockets empty but seemingly turned upwards - begging for mercy; long-legged beasts with knobby knees, their gangly fingers dangling beside their striated thighs; cigarette smoking dandies with grotesque thoughts on their minds, their perfect teeth clenching quellazaires with ghoulish malevolence; a perfectly normal looking man - at first - until you notice the one bulging eye looking directly at you; an abnormally fat bear with the face of an eagle, its left claw not a claw at all but the bucket of a backhoe, endlessly scooping, scooping, scooping.

Could you sleep with all this going on?
