It's not just witches that float.
What floated to the top was, unfortunately, what usually floats to the top.
I'm also concerned about the litigation thing. I've based stories on Captain Beefheart's (peas beat up on him) songs before, but this walrus one is an obvious Beatles connection. Lawyers do rather well out of that particular song collection. Parting with money causes physical pain and other terrible medical conditions, as every Scotsman knows.
I saw the 'eggmen' as the product of artificial insemination, or in vitro, controlled clones. The first line of the song referred to this. The walrus was the one who broke away, along with the 'naughty girl' who attempted to reproduce by the traditional method. The song is full of police references, hence a police state run by a government who wants control over every aspect of everyone's life. Rather like the one we have now but with some logic added.
Anyway, best leave that one. I'll go back to the 'Court of the Crimson King' story I've been considering.
