This story first started out with the title Slippery Sushi.  It was about a pair of twins that discover a piece of sushi on the floor.  Instead of cleaning it up, they try to lure family members into the room to step on it.  This is based on a real experience I had when I was a child and saw a pickle slice on the floor of a restaurant.  For some reason, I was transfixed by the idea that someone would step on it.  People came close and the tension built.  I don’t think anyone ever did step on that pickle, but I wanted to capture a child’s sense of innocent mischief in this story.

Like many of my stories, it grew and changed.  It now it looks a little more like a graphic novel for young readers.
