I applaud the kid who won the " terrifying-story-title " contest,
sponsored by General Mills ( Providence Journal Lifebeat, Oct. 30 ,
" Stuff " ) .
Braden Gardner 's winning entry: " Dead Dogs Still Fetch " .
If the story is as chilling as the title, we'll have a rival
for horror master Stephen King's " Pet Sematary " .
Recall the dead cat " Church " came back to " life " after
a night at the old Indian burial ground. But he was awfully
smelly and a little nasty .
Being a kid at heart, I still have my own horror
fantasies. In one of them I come across the lifeless body
of a kid in a poison ivy patch in Strawberry Field. He is just
Braden's age - ten years old.
I won't give my story away but I'll tell you all the title :
" Dead Kids Still Itch ! "
