While some may consider the use of the word “never” far too daring, in this one instance let it ring true: never has there been a more moving, a more heartrending tale of the frailty of existence--made all the more poignant with its gentle suffusion of hope and friendship. Of course, I could be referring to none other than Deedore! Halp!, the latest dramatic masterpiece from that young prodigy, E.M.B. Wolfe.
This work of genius no doubt springs from a mind greatly entranced with the profundity of platonic passion and sincerity; it is a strike against those ruffians of darkness who incline towards alienation and angst. With a dialogue so rich and complex it folds backwards on itself into simplicity, the theme of transcendence through universal togetherness wafts through the soul of this masterpiece in a delicate yet effervescent wave of sanguinity.
Take, for instance, this scene:
Setting: A Rock. Or cliffs. Or something quite dangerous looking.
Characters:
Spike, a stegosaurus (played by E.M.B. Wolfe)
Cera, a triceratops (played by E.M.B. Wolfe)
Foot, an apatosaurus (played by E.M.B. Wolfe)
Tiny, a pteranodon (played by E.M.B. Wolfe)
The Rock (played by a trash can)
Cera walks over to the rock and promptly gets stuck behind it.
CERA: Halp! Halp! Guys! Halp!
SPIKE: (with a quickness) Oh no! Cera! Stuck! Halp! Guys! Come on, guys!
FOOT: (Running! Fast!) Guys, come on!
TINY: Pull! Guys! Pull!
SPIKE, FOOT, TINY: ARGH!
CERA: Yay! Fwee! Guys! Fwee!
Spike, in his excitement, wanders over the rock and gets stuck.
SPIKE: Halp! Guys! Halp!
Because he acts with a verve usually reserved for those fourteen to twenty times his age, upon witnessing such a riveting portrayal, it can be hard to remember the mere 25 months this dramatic star has lived on Earth. The combination of his literary genius and the sheer vitality of his performance leaves no doubt that E.M.B. Wolfe's inestimable talent will shine for years to come.

This sentence is the reason you are my hero. Forge ahead courageous creator of awing absurdity, forge ahead.
As for your son, I hope the plight of the dinosaurs impending doom with the rock does not overshadow their spirit of cooperation and triumph through togetherness. That type of dark tone is what leads to absinthe drinking and opium dens. Beware!
