Stumbled onto some writing of an acquaintance.
One was a two sentence "scary story"… his was about his daughter being dead.
Another was a 1 sentence scary story… his was The baby is dead.
Um. This freaks the hell out of me. He has a daughter, who is very much alive and well. WHY would you write anything like that?!?
His kids have significant emotional and behavioral problems, and the youngest tells this daughter that he will kill her.
Am I being over reactive in being absolutely scared shitless of this dude? Or do writers write disturbing stuff sometimes? And i shouldnt think anything of it?

Failure is success if we learn from it.

Steven King does. He writes short stories to wind down. That's where some of his books/movies like Maximum Overdrive come from, as well as Shawshank Redemption.

Leaf- that is who i was thinking of! In my mind, i keep thinking, well, people do write horror stories.
I am a person who excuses a ton before reality hits me though
I will just keep this in the back of my head and continue to ignore this person. Its scary, my gut tells me something is not right, but what can ya do?

Yeah, until you read or watch The Stand and Contagion and think about the past two years.
But, there are some very deeply disturbed people out there. If the person you posted about isn't a writer, then I would be concerned.
