Your eldest daughter got a speeding ticket. Your middle son has tennis practice at the same time the twins have ballet. Your youngest child is a pirate today and will not be persuaded otherwise. You’re concerned about your spouse’s late nights – are they really working overtime, or is that new secretary at the office distracting them? You’re bored and frazzled; no one ever told you being a stay-at-home spouse was this much drudge work. You’re starting to think about going back to university.

Oh yeah, and there’s a girl in the sub-basement whose broken body could be a gate to the Other Side.

(Or: it is a beautiful day in the suburbs and you are a horrible cultist.)
