Horror Story

I was not going to post.

Then I passed through some news stories, and a truly, macabre, horror story struck me. Certainly, not the kind to read on an early Monday morning, but life does not give us such relief.

AMSTETTEN, Austria (CNN) -- Austrian police were Monday investigating the case of a 73-year-old man who they believe held his daughter captive in his cellar for 24 years and fathered at least six children with her.

The woman, identified as 42-year-old Elisabeth F., has been missing since 1984, when she was 18 years old, police said at a news conference.

Police: Captive had at least 6 children by her father

For me to comment on this is like the statement that water is wet. Indeed, water is wet.

Caution, the story is not for the soft hearted. So, you click on the link at your own risk. You will not feel good after reading it. (But then, life is not only about feeling good, is it?)

A true horror story.
