When Fairytales Get Real

I don't know how many of you watch the television show, Supernatural, but I'm a fan.

It's about two brothers who fight supernatural villains.

Vampires, werewolves, ghouls, ghosts, demons, shape shifters, wendigos, chupacabras, skinwalkers, and all the other monsters in the closet, including zombies, are real in their universe.

But, as in ours, people are unaware of it. They assume, as we do, that such things are just myths and legends...imaginative creations of primitive minds.

The brothers are two of a small group of "Hunters" who know they do indeed exist, who seek them out, and destroy them.

Of course it's a fictional world. It's just TV. Right?

As we sophisticated moderns know, True Evil doesn't exist. It's just a misunderstanding, an unfortunate clash of equally valid, equally valuable, equally worthwhile worldviews and  cultures...

Well, until a monster saws your head off.

That's an eye-opener.

I'm thinking Supernatural isn't so fictional anymore.

I'm thinking True Evil not only exists, but is alive and well, and stalking the Earth.

And I think we better get our "Hunter" panties on and start getting serious about hunting it down and killing it.
