February 27, 2005: No Brains Here To Eat?

A Kentucky high school student has been arrested for writing a short story in which zombies overrun a school? Prosecutors asked the judge to increase bail because of the severity of the offense? Surely nobody's THAT stupid. Or are they? This report doesn't LOOK like a hoax . . .

And having heard Federal officers characterize one of my own games as "a handbook for computer crime," I know all too well that some people in law enforcement really can't tell fantasy from the real world.

I don't know if I think this is a job for the ACLU, or for SFWA!
