I’ve been reading a really terrific book by Stephen King called Under The Dome.

Like most books by King it starts getting a little scary. I’ll never forget reading The Shining when I was about 18 and being scared out of my mind in broad daylight.

This one has been intriguing with shades of the scary to come but nothing outright scary up to this point – page 754.

In the story, one of the town politicians on a power trip is bringing in teenagers and young men to serve as a police force that will always support him. One of the older policemen, reflecting on the recent firing of another longer term member of the force, starts thinking that maybe he should have taken a job on the Orono police force when it was offered to him the previous year. Yes, he would have had to drive drunken UMO kids home but it would have beaten what he was currently experiencing waiting for his own, probably imminent, firing.

After I read this portion of the book. I decided to take a break. The book is heavy. Physically heavy, weighing 3.5 lbs.

I checked in on facebook and sitting right at the top of my newsfeed I see this:

Wowza. Raise the goose bumps!

I had never before heard of this town or school in Maine before I read about it three pages before I took a break.

LOL! If I wasn’t reading Stephen King, I may not have thought twice about it. But I am, completely, creeped out 😉
