I just remembered something yesterday.

Back when I was five or six years old, I imagined that the main villain of my series, which I now call Death, would grow out his fingernails and scratch stuff. I don't know why I imagined fingernails instead of outright claws, but perhaps I was too young to think outside of the box. Or maybe that kind of looks extra creepy when the fingernails of a dark hooded figure suddenly grow.

Basically whatever he clawed at would explode, which to me was a pretty cool concept, but even way back when I took it a step further and I imagined that his claws were sharp enough that they cut through the fabric of space and he caused space to explode.

I love it when I can remember ideas such as this from my childhood because they make my writing easier and far more fun. Although now I'm going to imagine that the villain grows claws. It's so...villainous.

Can you imagine how cool it would be to grow claws that could rip through the fabric of space and cause giant fiery explosions? Ik vind hem leuk!

Your Honor,

Emperor Kraggh
