I cannot remember a time when I did not consider myself a writer.

I started thinking about charismatic psychopaths like Charles Manson and wondering what they were like as teenagers?

Kids like that are growing up within our school systems and can exert tremendous control over their fellow students. I consider "Griffin" a cautionary tale about the danger of peer pressure.
