But occasionally, we might have an assignment that engages some other parts of ourselves, and those tend to be the good stories.

The young woman who brought me acquainted with Captain Murderer had a fiendish enjoyment of my terrors, and used to begin, I remember - as a sort of introductory overture - by clawing the air with both hands, and uttering a long low hollow groan.
