An EYE for an Eye and a Tooth for a Tooth

This week I read a short story called An Eye for an Eye and a tooth for a tooth, its by Lawrence Schimel and it’s from The Mammoth book of comic fantasy. First off this is a really strange story it is like deep dark horrifying tooth fairy story, and if I were a little kid reading this I would defiantly not ever want to loose any teeth again as well as sleep again, just because of all the horrifying elements of this story. This girl lost her eyeball her teeth and something in her ear so she couldn’t hear anything anymore. The author of this story doesn’t take a whole lot of time out to develop her character but does try to describe a few things about her while telling the story of when she was little and liked to get money from the tooth fairy. I do however like the way that the author turned a fairytale story into a horror story and kind of change the way that we perceive those types of creatures we all no and love and it kind of makes me think a little bit about and now im wondering maybe if the tooth fairy is this way the maybe Santa clause and the Easter bunny are not so nice but are actually the bad guys. Maybe Santa really takes kids and makes them toys are maybe the Easter bunny is made up of eggs or something really strange like that, I don’t know it could happen.
