Kate, the Not So Famous Author

Kate Allison, daughter of the not so famous pastor Duncan Allison, became a not so famous author. However, she was worshiped within The Original Church and The Spill Over Church. She was even somewhat famous among the denomination that faithfully followed her father. Her “fame” peaked around 5 years ago. But that high point was beginning to slide down.

She was now a part time teacher at her father’s Indoctrination of Covenantal Presbyterianism College. She did not get along with all of the faculty. Professors were frustrated that she wouldn’t get with the program and make a syllabus and schedule for her Master’s students. But she was big enough to get away with not listening to them. She had, to say the least, a harsh personality. If she had worked for any other college, she would’ve gotten fired. She would make, what some would call, “mean” comments about her students. She would tease them about their outfits, their hair, and one time even told a student “you write weird”, and not in a complimentary way. With students of her own sex, bashing was the protocol if she didn’t like their personalities….. especially if they openly disagreed with her. One time a kid with Autism issues strongly disagreed with Princess Kate. Kate told the unfortunate girl, “You’re full of it.” She didn’t need to refute the girl’s statement. She just needed to belittle and embarrass the kid in front of the class. The “debate” was over. Kate Allison saw The Hunger Games book series as a threat to civilization. She had only read the first book. But she was still an expert on the moral issues and evolution of the characters in the other two books. One guy tried to refute Kate’s claim that The Hunger Games was of the devil. He asked, “Have you read all the books?” Kate replied “No. But I don’t need to. I have friends who read all of them and I trust their judgement.” The boy looked dubious, but didn’t argue. One girl tried to explain why tattoos were not completely unbiblical. She explained why her boyfriend in the Marines had one tiny star tattoo. Immediately Kate asked, “How old are you?” The girl stated that she was 18. Kate explained how she was stupid for dating somebody right out of highschool. She then stated that getting a tattoo in the military was like being branded by the government or was commemorating the dead. The girl never got to finish. She was stupid. She didn’t need to explain her boyfriend’s reasons any further.

Kate realized that if her unprofessional and ***holeish behavior ever got out to the public, her career would be in peril. She made rules. No laptops or ipads in the classroom. No quoting anything that she said. No telling outsiders what went on in the classroom. Only take lecture notes. Do not write down anything verbatim and quote it as Kate.

When her father got involved in never ending, embittering, and embarrassing scandals, she could not say anything. She was loyal and deeply tied to this cannon that did not know how to stop spewing grapeshot. She wanted to defend him. But what would her publishing company, Haphazard House, think? If they found out how closely associated she was with this nightmare of a cult, the story-craft would be over. That’s what husbands are for. Her spouse spoke what she wanted to say. So she kept quiet.
