I guess I'm done with magical thinking.

And I'm not sure if that's a good thing or not. =(

A friend sent me a link to this story and at first I thought it was a real story. A very cool story. I was going to send it to my husband to read as he loves non-fiction. But about the time the mysterious and unseen cave monster noises showed up, I was like, huh, this is total b.s.

But I would have believed this as an active member and it would have been a fun read!

Oh well.

Sorry for the double post, but it appears that this story was...

merely a mixture of plagiarism and alteration of this piece of fiction, written by one Thomas Lera. And thus, the mystery is solved. http://web.archive.org/web/20050117173007/www.dougaustin.com/tlcaves/pdf/Thefearofdarkness.pdf

Magical thinking is fine if it is used as entertainment.

People get into trouble when they start to believe magical thinking as a realistic way to live their lives.
