Master of the House

By Charles Nuetzel

A horror story about how one child became the master of the house. Right from the beginning he was special; but aren’t all children special in the eyes of their proud parents? In this case, though, he was even more special than they could have imagined. Therein lay the nightmare that followed.
This story came from the simple idea that children many times seem to become the masters, and the parents the slaves. Parental love and devotion can be so blind. And at the terrible age of two they many times become little demons exploring their homes with destructive force. Children can be very complex, even “monsters” in their teenage years, when they are exploring adulthood and discovering that ol’ sexual reality which will be so much a part of their lives.
I wondered just how powerful a child gets when trying to control their home.
Perhaps a silly idea, but many parents, in their pride, love and devotion tend not only to spoil the child, but to literally allow them the freedom to take over and truly become... MASTER OF THE HOUSE! And therein we discover the real horror in this story of parental love gone too far.

Charles Nuetzel

Charles Nuetzel was born in San Francisco in 1934, and writes: “As long as I can remember I wanted to be a writer. It was a dream I never thought would materialize. But with the help of Forrest J Ackerman, who became my agent, I managed to finally make it into print. “I was lucky enough not only in selling my work to publishers but also ending up packaging books for some of them, and finally becoming a ‘publisher’ much like those who had bought my first novels. From there it as a simple leap to editing not only a science-fiction anthology, but also a line of SF books for Powell Sci-Fi back in the 1960s. Throughout these active professional years I had the chance to design some covers and do graphic cover layouts for pocket books & magazines.” Much of his work in covers and graphics are a result of having had a father who was a professional commercial artist, and who did a number of covers for sci-fi magazines in the 1950s and later for pocket books—even for some of Mr. Nuetzel’s books. In retirement he has become involved in swing dancing, a long time lover of Big Band jazz. But more interestingly world travels have taken him (and his wife Brigitte) across the world, to Hawaii, Caribbean, Mexico, Kenya, Egypt, Peru, having a lifelong interest in ancient civilizations. His website is full of thousands of pictures taken during these trips. Check out his website: http://Haldolen.com
