The best horror happens when the "bad thing" is suggested. The individual's mind will come up with something far more sinister, terrifying, and terrific than any author can put on the page. That is what Brandon has done here. Regardless of intent, this well-executed monologue conjured images of the nightly news of events in my own neighborhood. So, I am left not knowing if this is a historical piece, or a contemporary one... And that is truely horrifying.
