At risk of revisiting a recent school safety topic, here’s one that doesn’t involve guns of any sort, but rather a much more dangerous weapon:  words.  A high school kid writes a story about zombies taking over a high school.  Sounds harmless (and it is), but apparently police didn’t think so.  They arrested him and are charging him with a “second-degree felony terrorist threatening charge”.  

Even better?  His grandparents narced on him when they found the story in his journal!

Now that’s a loving family.  Man, do I feel safe, getting that kid off the streets.  Just the thought of that freak, writing away in his journal, crafting short stories with his imagination instead of playing video games for hours or drinking beer like a good teenager should, it gives me the chills.  What other trouble would he have gotten into if his sweet little old Nana hadn’t dropped a dime on his skinny butt?  

The only thing I have to say is:  that must be one facking fantastic story to get him thrown into jail at the tender age of 18.  It must be absolutely bone-chillingly terrifying to warrant a terrorism charge.  It must really take horror to a new level to be detained like this, even the act of reading it makes your hair turn white and your skin take on a ghastly pallor.  The very existence of this story keeps the FBI up at night.  It must because the author is charged with terrorism, right?

This kid definitely has a future in writing.  Unless he ends up at Gitmo of course.
