Yay, another dumb story.
The next short story I have decided to rant on is "Suffer The Little Children"
once again, it didn't really scare me at all. It was just weird. An elementary school teacher one day all of a sudden gets suspicious of some kid name 'Robert' in her class. She starts avoiding him because she sense something 'ominous' about him. More stuff happened, she got more and more scared, until she stared thinking that all the kids were out to get her. Robert, the first one to scare her, 'transformed' into some sort of monster. I didn't really understadn thsi part, it wasn't described very well
She had a mental breakdown and ended up running away from the school screaming. She took a whole month off before returning.
Upon her return, she started freaking out when she saw the children again. She is a nutcase, and decided to massacre her class.
She brought a gun to school and called them into a room one by one. She shot each one in the head, and didn't stop until another teacher came into the room to find masses of dead kids on the floor. She was sent to a mental hospital where she continued to be afraid of children.
Okay...what? This story was beyond stupid! The descriptions were so poor, I didn't even understand half teh story! At the end of the story, one of the doctors started to become wary of the children. So, from what I can tell, In this story one of the following is true.
-all adults are paranoid and suffer from severe schizophrenia
-Stephen King hates kids and decided to potray them as a bunch of creepy monsters
-This was some random ramblingn made into a crappy short story.
I still haven't started liking this book, it's not scary, it's not interesting, and I'm behind on reading because I don't want to read it because it's dull. Because of this, I'm probably going to end up pulling an all-nighter on thursday night to finish the book. What can I say, I'm morer of a youtube type of person.

You didn't even TRY to understand it. There is more to it than that and you obviously don't get that it ISN'T SUPPOSED to be scary!!!!! It's just meant to creep you out. The whole idea is that you are supposed to question her sanity, but not completely doubt it. Also, she isn't automatically frightened by the kids in her therapy sessions; it takes a little while and then she asks to be removed. The last "scene" is of two mentally ill children holding each other and laughing in the same way the SANE elementary school kids. fool
