There is a movie called Needful Things
In it the devil comes to a small town of Castle Rock and set up a pawnshop
The items are extremely cheap
But you have to pull a mean prank on someone to fully pay for the item
A Mickey Mantle signed 1952 Topps basball card is worth 58,500 dollars
Brian Rusk paid only 90 cents and two pranks
Putting turkey crap on freshly laundered sheets drying on the clothesline
And throwing green apples through every window of the same house
The woman thought the woman at the diner did the prank, not Brian
Meanwhile, the woman who worked at the diner had her dog skinned
The guy who skinned the dog was paying for a letterman's jacket
Pranks being played on others to get people to hate each other
Hate each other enough to kill them
What would be our modern day needful things?
What price have we paid ?
Looking at our murders in this country, we have paid a huge price
The sad reality is there are Leeland Guants all over this country
Making money and making mahem for their own entertainment and profit
Time away from our friends, family, and rest
Time we will never get back
