I was somewhat productive at work, and then I went to the dentist and returned with almost 4% more teeth. It’s weird having a tooth instead of a hole there, and it feels too much like when I had a tooth that was a hole and filled it with wax, so I keep flinching away from chewing on that side, but I will persevere!

So, I was thinking: Hogwarts is universally beloved and all, but what about… SPACE PIRATE SCHOOL?

That’s it, that’s the whole thought. What were you expecting?

Read: Simone Breaks All The Rules (Debbie Rigaud): High school senior in New Jersey who wants to have a life vs her extremely strict Haitian immigrant mother who wants to keep her wrapped in cotton wool forever.

Read: The Lord Sorcier (Olivia Atwater): Prequel to Half a Soul, how England’s Lord Sorcier came out of the Napoleonic wars.

Read: The Slither Sisters, Teacher’s Pest, and Substitute Creature (Charles Gilman): Books 2-4 in the “Lovecraft Middle School” series, 7th graders vs Mythos-inspired, or at least Mythos-named, monsters trying to eat the student body and eventually… the WORLD!

Words: Check.
