Letter to the editor: Scary story in question
Updated: January 2, 2012 8:04AM
I read the story, “What the Sharks Caused to the Town,” in your Scary Stories segment for Oct. 27.
To say that my family found it disturbing is an understatement.
This story was supposed to be about Halloween.
There was nothing about Halloween in the story.
There were knives and blood, a drowned sister and parents being called slaves.
What does that have to do with Halloween?
We have a new baby at home.
We were sickened by the end, which was a baby being stabbed in the eye followed by a chirpy, “The End!!”
Please let me know how you chose this for first place.
