The weird part of this short piece is how the writer came up with it at the age of 9. As a parent myself of two crazy boys, my response would have been "Get That Kid Some Therapy!"

Review by: David Lovato on April 12, 2010 :
An interesting idea which seems almost comical; this could've been a scene straight from Evil Dead 2. It's very campy while at the same time somewhat creepy, but the length and pace keep it from ever being scary. If you're one of those people who demands a scientific explanation for everything you read, I'd suggest you steer clear of this story (and of fiction in general; we're authors, we don't owe you an explanation.)
The story doesn't promise anything it doesn't deliver, and reads as it is, a revision of an idea created by a young mind. There's nothing amazing here, but there's nothing inexcusably bad here, either.
