Picture of the "Raven Trophy" by Jessica Fox-WilsonThe Stranger is the 2007 Raven Award winning short story. The Raven Award is a yearly award that is given the best scary story written for and read at John Axel Kohagen’s annual Halloween party.
Fox-Wilson’s story is about a young boy who is picked on and terrorized at school. He hates his class mates and the name that they call him, Scotty Potty. The story is from Scotty’s father’s point of view, too busy to really notice Scotty’s plight.
What is really terrifying about Fox-Wilson’s story is that she taken the concept of the abused and misunderstood student out of High School and put him into Kindergarten. Scotty’s signs of aggression are missed, until it is too late, a disemboweled play toy becomes a disemboweled classmate.
Even though it is November 2, a good scare is a good scare. You can read The Stranger on 9 to 5 Poet.
Congratulations on the award, Jessica.
