Radioactivism - Horror Movie Salvation

Jodi Franklin (2:36) 02.23.09 VOICES, Inc./KXCI

(((radioactivism)))

I had only one reality that didn’t include anything outside my house... until the horror movies came. by Jodi Franklin, 14. I used to have only one reality and it didn't include world history or biology… or even outside my house. I was a prisoner of my mom's religion.
But then, the horror movies came… And changed my life.
