    Greetings Shayne:


     


    It is a reference to placating those who you are related to, or not (We are related to everyone).  .... The ones who claim to love in reference to the sperm and the egg.  It can be a horror movie. One can take what one wishes inside and outside the sarcophagus, or box, as you will, of any particular relationship.


    One can look at an alligator which is not particularly charming if one chooses to look at it that way.


    One can look at an alligator and be  completely amazed as the coping mechanisms of evolution... not to mention how they raise their young.


    One can choose to be terrified, attach a nastier name and turn it into something of the Corn.  We all know that Corn in it's self is not horrifying.... Children of the Corn as written can be.... also if you are a Celiac.... corn gluten is beyond horrifying.


     


    The point is trust, love and willing to loose one's self no matter what the consequences .... some types of love come with expectations and the true loves do not.


    As with all words written, it is a matter of perspective.  Think outside of the box.


    When writing a paper, no professor actually wants you to think like them..... The point is challenge of perspective.  It is a game and it is fun. One will fail to grow if one can not laugh or enjoy.


     


    The most terrifying thing that we react to is what has not been presented before.  ... If we happened to not think about it before the day of presentation, it happens as we, as humans, find ourselves devoid of reference point.  I don't crave or like horror.  I have raised children.... every single day is about the security of another human and a beyond beautiful, human being.


    I don't think we crave horror.  I think we crave knowing something else outside of our box.  We crave adventure.  It I our middle name.  Ultimately, it gives us a laugh and 'punch' to our everyday 'junk'.


     


    I do however, collect miniature hilarious morbid items.  I purchased a miniature mummy, now named Shawn who resides in Horus.... funny and hand painted.  Horror can be hilarious if you choose to let it be.


     


    Fish of the day....


    ""


    Have yourself a glorious one!


     


    Fish Out!


     


    ... Never forget to smile.  It always looks good on you.


     


    One last note.... I imagine that you will never read this as the question is two years old.  You are more than likely into third year by now.  Enjoy, it is only the first year that is difficult.... There is a thing called "culling".

    King produced horror by metaphoric meaning in place of actual fact and vilifying intent as a trap door into the darker meaning; subtlety...in my view the superficial story makes a mockery of innocence, pretending not to be the veiled horror we know is there in secret.

    The horrors of a child in bed waiting for the ghosts or the bad men that could potentially stab the child to death in their sleep. It is a capitalisation of fear. The fear of a child manifested into what has not been dealt with as a young adult. It does become boring.
    robertgrist

    When I began clearing my mind of my fearful thinking, guilt and litter of thoughts on the subjects of minds creation, it became obvious that the task before me could take a very long time, perhaps lifetimes to completely clear. The more compelling horrors were there in mind begging response in confusion.
    FISH-O

    I understand what you are writing, curiously. The subject of 'notion' or 'realization' is far larger than one's lifetime could actually deposit or see with clear vision.

    One single lifetime is not enough.

    I so suppose it is our duty to live further and 'get it all'. Adventure is truly out there!!
