We are living in a horror movie.

The Russians are said to be deploying 

a Poseidon torpedo.

Then, there is Russia's Dead Hand:

Of course, WWIII may be on the

brink of starting:

It seems Trick or Treat has 

come early,

doesn't it?

OCTOBER is horror month. 

It is popular to be scared now.

But not this scared, right? 

After all, movies, shows, and months eventually end

Do you know what galvanized President Regan 

to work so hard for world peace? 

A TV movie.

I have been finding it hard to write about 

fictional horror, 

feeling too much like Nero

fiddling while Rome burned.

Scientific studies indicate that those

who are not so empathic

can enjoy horror movies more

than those who feel more

negatively about those in torment.

What do you think?

Stephen King wrote:

"I think people do kind of gravitate towards horror stories when times are tough, and times are scary."

Have you found writing harder these days?

There is a quote from LOVE IN THE TIME OF CHOLERA:

"Human beings are not born once and for all on the day their mothers give birth to them.

But Life obliges them over and over again to give birth to themselves."
