When I watched "The Exorcist" recently, I was particularly struck by the scene where fully-possessed Regan MacNeil had the words "help me" appear on her abdomen. I imagined a Lil' Regan slowly pressing out each letter from the inside and I decided to teach Lil' Ryan to do the same. After months of training, he started making marks, which eventually developed into letters. This past week he made his first sentence and coincidentally he chose the same statement Lil' Regan chose. I wanted to show off his work, so I booked a stripping gig at The Slide.
