The Happening is a strange and frightening-fictitious tale that will make you think twice about the world around you. From the onset of this story, things seem quite odd. While you are reading this book, try to understand that things that can be imagined may actually come true. Have you ever wondered if the thoughts that you were thinking were real? Have you ever considered that it may be insight, premonition and signs that lead you to these thoughts? This story illustrates that this could actually be what is happening within the writings of the pages of this book. Suffice to say, there are things that have truly occurred, which makes what is written about eerie, and not easily explained. This writing, also, demonstrates the very nature of the evils some can do to others just for the sake of their own-personal satisfaction. There are, also, situations that will have results that are in direct contrast to these evil doers, because of the perseverance of the human spirit. Incidentally, the people involved in this tale learn the true meaning of suffering, terror and the fear of the unknown. In a world that is moving quite fast, some don't take the time to think or care about their decisions. Perilous consequences can arise out of greed and power, and there are those who live and thrive just for this. Yet, there are others who will pay the price. Overall, this story paints a gigantic picture of what may be the world where we now live and haven't given much thought. Can this writing be the beginning of a larger harbinger of truly-terrible things to come?
