I didn't... don't know why. Never liked violent nursery rhymes or The Gingerbread Man. But I liked gruesome fairy tales. And when I was 10, I went through my Holocaust phase, reading everything I could get my hands on on the matter. And that was far worse, because I knew even if the individual stories were fiction, the basics behind them were real and generally even worse. And then at ... I dunno, about 12 I had my dystopia phase and read 1984, Animal Farm, and Brave New World. 1984 and Animal Farm are far worse than anything in Harry Potter. And Brave New World has sex between little kids... maybe about 5 or 6 years old.

I'm glad I'm a beta. Alphas work so hard. And gammas are just so dumb. I'm lucky to be a beta.
