The Mad Scientist's Beautiful Daughter

I am the Mad Scientist's Beautiful Daughter.\nIn the so-called Real World, my father, Hugh Marvin Hyatt, was a high energy physicist, specializing in Electrostatic and Electro-overstress Events, up to and including Electromagnetic Pulse Events.\nHe played with lightning. For fun. And on top of all of that, he was just my Dad.\nDecember 7th, 2002, around 10 in the evening, my father died.\nFor years, I resisted writing about him, tired of constantly living in his shadow. Until the day my eldest daughter turned five and she asked me about rainbows and I began to give her the exact same lecture about the property of light that my father gave me. \nYes, this is about my father. But it's also about finding your way when the pole star that always drew you home is no more.
