Talk:A Short Story/@comment-35711173-20181024054446

It was pretty obvious what was going to happen. By the end of paragraph three, I strongly suspected it. By paragraph six and "Are you ready to have your wish fulfilled," I knew. Getting wishes fulfilled ALWAYS goes very badly.

This does seem like the sort of thing that a couple of heartless jocks might well do. That makes the horror very believable but somehow I think the believability makes it not creepy to me. We know it won't end well for the lamb when you toss it into a tiger's cage and are repulsed by the outcome but not surprised.
