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.
When were you last really scared?

Not proud of this oneIn my early thirties I was a bit of a party animal - (Fell in with a bad crowd) - Suffice to say I would get shitfaced and have the odd one nigh stand. One night while at a small gathering I started talking to this chap who was a bouncer and nice enough. The wine flowed and I agreed to go home with him. To this day I have no idea why! I like geeks and didn't particulary fancy him. We got to his flat in a high rise block and went inside. The living room consisted of a tatty sofabed and a small gas fire on the wall. For some reason these sparce surroundings sobered me up and I realised that I really didn't want to sleep with him and I was very aware that he wouldn't be happy with this change of heart. I was in a strange flat in a strange area and no-one knew where I was. I have never been so scared in all my life. I told him I wanted to go home and he tried to talk me out of it. He said I didn't have have sex with him - I COULD JUST LIE THERE AND HE WOULD RUB HIMSELF UP ON ME - EWW! - This convinced me even more of my wish to leave and I started crying. The Gods were smiling on my that night because he did the right thing and took my home albeit in a mood. I apologised profusely and went inside.
I tell this tale so that the younger members of this site will think before they end up repeating my mistake and maybe not have such a lucky outcome.
Stay safe!!!
