The seeds of a magnificent psychological thriller are contained within this fascinating article. Combined with slight elements of the supernatural, this could basically be the next great Stephen King novel. . .written by me, of course.
Writing ideas are everywhere, literally. Pay attention and brilliance will find you.

Basketball Season!
Finally! It's the best season of the year. Basketball season! BYU is now four games into their schedule and here is my assessment so far. We look pretty good, though a little inconsistent with so many freshmen. Everybody is playing well, about as I predicted at the end of last year's season. I will say that I think that a starting lineup of Winder, Rogers, Abouo, Hartsock, and Davies would solve the problem of the slow starts. I like Zylstra, he's a good shooter, but I don't think he's a threat enough to be a starter. He'd be better as a spark off the bench.
I stand by my prediction that we will be in the NCAA tournament this year, and we will win multiple games.
People who haven't been following BYU hoops probably don't understand a word that I just said. It doesn't matter. I just love basketball and I needed something to gush about.

Cold Blood
We're used to the idea of a man's blood running cold. But when a woman does the same thing. . .well, it's a little shocking.
This story is horrifying!
It's events like this that make me realize that there are some people in the world who are just not fit to have children. The woman in the previous story had a past that included prostitution and drugs and yet we let her be a mother.
I'm not one for the government controlling everything, but sometimes I think there should be some form of control over who is allowed to have children and who isn't. There should be some sort of "parenting" test that married couples have to complete before they're allowed to make babies. Of course, this brings up all sorts of moral issues because, in a way, regulating this would be basically a form of practicing Eugenics.
There isn't any comfortable solution to this problem. But there are too many kids out there who are being abandoned and neglected by their parents. It needs to stop.
