I'm frozen too ... You give these horror tales such a touch of vivid reality that one can hardly breathe while reading it. Again: it's too much to bear! You made me remember a movie I had seen in my youth with a famous German actor, Gert Froebe, who played the role of a murderer of a little girl. Just to tell you how deeply I reacted to the tremendous suspense: my teeth clattered for a long time afterwards (good that I was with my boyfriend!). That story stuck with me for a long time ... Several months later, one day in Lugano/Switzerland I went to buy a newspaper and when the man in front of me turned around I had such a shock that I gasped: it was the famous actor of that terrible movie!! He saw my reaction and was surprised of course. I told him the reason and we laughed together ... maybe he was even flattered, because it meant of course that he was really very good in that role. The movie intended to draw the attention of parents to such dangers. You are right, life ends when things like that happen. Love, Margherita |

No one is ever prepared for the horrors that happen to the innocent around us...we all gasp and speak of how terrible it is but we protect the monsters who do this kind of thing...I am sorry if this sounds harse but I am tired of the victims not seeing justice...Powerful writing like this needs to be heard loudly like this...I thank you for the many who can't...*Big Hugs* |
