@fromharbor ; 4 Cal
It wasn't as though he lived to terrorize people. He did, all right, but it was more than that. Sometimes it was through his writing and sometimes through his townwide pranks. Sometimes it was just by making people venture out of their comfort zones. Leonard had nothing against religion as a devout follower of the Jewish faith (when convenient). He did have a difficult time understanding why anyone would be punished for being who they were, provided that they weren't doing anything that harmed anyone else. Young Calahan was a prime example of that. But he wasn't going to do any actual harm right that night, just have a few drinks and a nice meal. "Come in, come in." Leonard, customary drink in hand, answered the door to his latest victim shortly after his gothic doorbell echoed through the large house.
