So, "The Chambered Fruit" was sort of interesting (aside from it being WAY to long and filled with WAY TOO MUCH USELESS AND NON STORY PERTINENT INFO... HELLO it's a SHORT story...) because it was so modern set. It was different from what we have read so far because it is no longer that a dead girl comes back to chill with her mama. Nope, what really freaked me out was that it was an internet PERVERT that raped and strangled her after posing as a 12 year old girl on the internet. People who commit crimes like this scare me more than anything, and make me seriously want to to a fire poker to a computer as well. Glad I plan on having 15 cats and no kids because this would be awful to think about... I have seen kids as young as 4 (yes FOUR YEARS OLD) who are able to get on the internet now and make their way around it.
So what do y'all think about this new fear of technology? I think that it is interesting that one of our most modern stories (this one was 2003) uses a bit of internet scare tactic.
