Itchingham Lofte had caused explosions before. There had, in truth, been many bangs, flashes, and smells coming from his bedroom in the past.

Maybe the body finds untapped reserves when it needs to; maybe the fear of dying makes it do extraordinary things.

There should be a law against parents using sarcasm, thought Itch.
