Fam Man

(By Ace Dreamer)


Danny awoke and looked around. Was his bedroom different? Everything looked the same, but...

"Happy Birthday, Dad!" His betailed daughter bustled into the room with a breakfast tray. He looked at her with suspicion, partly because she was dressed as a butler.

"Thanks for the birthday breakfast in bed. Why do I feel that there's something new I need to worry about?"

She smirked at him. "Eat up your breakfast, and then I'll show you around Stately Hebert Manor!"

"OK, it is very clever the way you've fitted an extra eight bedrooms in, all with en suite. The way that you can come in the original doors and just seem to be in the original house, or not, is nice too. I don't want to think too hard about the views from some of the windows..."

"I need to do a bit more work on that", mumbled Taylor.

"I do like the decoration in the ballroom, though maybe an Olympic-sized swimming pool is a little... excessive. But, what worries me, for some reason, is the bust of Shakespeare in the library..."

"Why am I dressed as a lizard-themed Batman? Why is there a lizard-themed Batcar over there, on a turntable?"

"Why are you being Saurial in a 'Robin' costume?"

A feeling of dread was slowly starting to creep through his shocked state.

"Don't you understand, Dad? This is the secret FamCave, and you are FamMan!"
