Why this fascination for depressing stories lately?

[NuttyFluffers]

20. people process through stories.

this includes the nightmares of their modern times.

some like it, some find it therapeutic, and some don't like it. to each their own.

i find chirpy, happy, sunshine kumbaya far too often obnoxiously vile. and yet i see its value, too.

(except anne geddes and precious moments. that work needs to perish in a conflagration... no, just kidding. i see their value, too. but really, they would look prettier in a bonfire.)
