Land of horrors
Once upon a time there lived a 10 year old, blonde haired boy with blue eyes, named Carl. Carl was a joyous optimistic boy who lived with his adoptive parents, John and Maria in london. They were a wonderful, perfect, happy family, according to what other's said anyway. What they didn't know was that inside this little perfect family, there was a small small problem going on. You see, Carl was a boy who loved horror movies. He was fascinated by them and watched atleast 3 of them every day, yet somehow he always completed his homework and was a model student in school.Β
John and maria of course knew that all these horror movies Carl was watching every day MUST be bad for his mental health and so naturally,being the loving parents they were, they tried to distance Carl from watching so many horror movies every day. They sat Carl down and tried to tell him to stop watching so many movies, yet he refused to listen.
So they decided to ban him from watching horror movies entirely. Sadly that didn't turn out very well either for they caught their perfect Carl sneaking out of the bed every night to watch these movies in secret. So they decided to become much harsher and stricter with him and disabled the cable from the tv. This, sadly didint turn out very well either becuase the moment they announced to him that they were going to disable the cable from the TV, Carl decided to start throwing horrible tantrums.
John and maria decided to ignore his behaviour but however, a few days later they were called by the principal of Carl's school to tell them that their perfect Carl had been acting up in class. The calls became more frequent and then one day Carl came home with with a detention note in his hand. John and Maria were shocked that their beloved Carl was acting such a way but unfortunately for them it wasn't the end of it. Carl's grade started dropping and dropping untill he started failing every single class. Simply put, the boy was going on a strike,and rebelling.
At this point, poor John and Maria were so hopeless and desperate that they turned to the only other thing that they could think of. They sent Carl to a therapist.
It was a cloudy and windy day when Carl walked into the therapist's office. His parents,who were sitting anxiously in the waiting room could feel the breeze coming in through the slightly open window. Carl closed the door and sat on the chair that was infront of the desk. The therapist, that was sitting on the chair behind the desk observed Carl closely and carefully. His smiling blank face however, gave nothing away,as they stared at each other. After a few minutes of this, the therapist cleared her throat and introduced herself as Jennifer Lauren.
"I'm your therapist Carl. Its very nice to meet you." Said Jennifer pleasently.
"Likewise." Carl replied politely, still smiling creepily and staring directly into her eyes and for some reason it was starting to creep Jennifer out. She cleared her throat nervously and began the session.
"So, your parent's tell me that you've been watching horror movies every day."
"Yes."
"And they're worried that it might be affecting your mental health."
"Yes."
"Do you think it's affecting your mental health Carl?"
"No."
"Why so?"
"Becuase it's MY mental health we're talking about here. Watching...
