Chaos Containment

Approaching the loft, my eyes widen.  The plastic castle has exploded, carnage abounds:  princesses, horses, a jewelled crown.  Testing my tether, I secure my line of retreat.

"I'm goin' in!"

    No! Don't go in alone!

    Sorry, the panic I feel when I approach my sons' rooms took hold.

    That might be a losing battle. There's no dishonor in a tactical retreat!
