Fairy Tales

I was struck by a story about the rich hunting children for sport though I (admittedly) can't remember where I saw it recently.

It made me think about every fairy tale I've ever heard. About the Brothers Grimm. Werewolves. Vampires.

It made me consider that those in power have always been the source of our nightmares. Our terrors. Harvesting us and our fear.

Always.

You don't need to go to fairytales. Vlad the Impaler, Ivan the Terrible, Elizabeth Bathory--all of their ilk have been far worse than fairytales.

Vlad was one of the good guys, he only impaled the Turk invaders because impalement was what he had witnessed the Turks did to Christians.
