His Yankee competition's poster
He knows this man personally (the Guys real name is Missouri Sape). They were in the same Paris bakery suffering the same apprenticeship program. Hate is deep and tossed back and forth between both men.

The CSA reality- ideas


Gambling is the popular past time enjoyed by men and women of society.
The less fortunate participate in a lottery played every Friday.
Candles are used at night as CSA is at the forefront of the ecological and organic innovation of the day.
Buildings are preserved and appreciated as being monuments of "a time when things were right"

Dark Dorrit


The life of Amy Dorrit was darker than Dicken's had the permission to document.
She was real. She was disappointed with his portrayal of her life.
One thing that stand out is his exclusion of the vampires.
He never mentioned the rapes and murder.
Author and Amy's daughter Victoria  has a life of education, art, travel.
She is an odd duck, looking for safety, discovers danger, betrayal, has a stalker and is at the effects and manipulation of The Vampires Flintwinch (Jeremiah and Ephraim) .
Amy has nightmares after seeing Mrs Clenman turn into a vampire then kill herself after her home collapses. she sits in the courtyard waiting for the sun to rise, the image burned into Amy's memories.
Jeremiah was afraid of his brother. Ephraim turns his twisted and crushed body. Jeremiah becomes a vampire infatuated with Amy and then Victoria.
Victoria remembers her youth, her parents, gossip and the dirty bits of history for the characters from Little Dorrit.
