Hello All!!!!!

Okay...so who thought the "Winkie" was going to be a cute little story about some monster under a little girls bed that had big eyes and blinked a lot????? Well I have to admit that this story kind of freaked me out...just a little. I said, "This story doesnt sound like it will be to scary. I think I'll read it before I go to bed." Big mistake! Winkie was a baby eater with no eyelids!!!!!! That can really screw up your childhood! The worst part was that the mother just seemed so la-tee-da about it. She was like "yeah, I told them where they could find you." I would be like, well thanks a lot mom! You should of just told me who Winkie was in the first place and maybe I wouldnt have gone flouncing around at night for he to snatch me up and steal my eyelids!!!!

On another note, I love ghost stories!!!!!! I find it interesting to find out why the ghosts tend to linger around instead of passing on to the afterlife. This of course is why I loved Pol Pots Daughter and Fearful Symmetry. I liked at the end of Fearful Symmetry how the author incorporated the reader and the end. For Pol Pots Daughter, I have to say that I did almost cry at the end when the voices of the ghosts said, "We adopt you." Awww........ I actually heard the voices as I read...well I suppose that it was my own voice but I still felt touched. GREAT STORY!!!!
