When were you last really scared?We'd been watching the Shining. We were staying in an old church building. In hindsight, taking the shortcut home after midnight, in the mist, through the old graveyard was a bad idea.
I'm not sure what started it, but suddenly all the hairs on my neck had gone up and I was crapping myself. It was almost as bad as when, after a few cups of coffee too many and buzzing on caffeine, I got freaked out by my own reflection in the toilets.

Back when I used to live in Carlsbad, NMWe used to make semi-regular trips to Roswell (yes, THAT Roswell) to get Thai food. So one afternoon, I decide to make the trip on my own. As I'm coming back, a fog rolls in out of nowhere - unusual for evening time in that area. So I'm driving alone in the dark, in the fog, when I suddenly see a flashing amber light off to my right. Not that big a deal, until I notice that it's following a course parallel to mine, at the exact same speed. So just as I'm starting to freak out a little, a spotlight shines down from the source of the amber light. Not on me, but ahead of the object in question. Ignoring the sudden bulge in the back of my pants and the smell that comes with it, I continue driving and decide to roll down the window a bit to see if I can hear an engine noise, something... no sound other than the wind whooshing by. Not being terribly keen on the idea of alien abduction and anal probing, I decide to speed up a little, at which point the object turns to its right, and then right again, disappearing from view.
Aliens? Nope. Chaves County Sheriff helicopter searching for an escaped inmate from the Roswell Correctional Center, which I found out about on the 10 o'clock news that night.
Length: Long and skinny, with bits of chicken. Mmm, phad thai!
