There are a few things that really scare me. Sharks: They can kill you! First they tear the flesh from your body leaving you to suffer from blood loss where you die shortly after they pull your limp lifeless body to shore. I was raised in the "Jaws" era so I remember vividly my Uncle Joe taking me as a 6 year old child to see this terror movie that has inspired my fear of the ocean and deep swimming pools--What was Grandma thinking!! Snakes: They are creepy, slimy and again, some are poisonous and can kill you. Okay, maybe not kill you but if you live in Australia or Madagascar they could!! Again, as a young child I remember being nearly bitten by a rattlesnake that my dad later said had it bite me I could have died--maybe an exaggeration but I believe EVERYTHING my dad says. Poisonous Spiders: Everyone reading this blog knows why I fear poisonous spiders!! My house has been infested with Brown Recluse for several years and again, growing up in Arizona there were these horrible spiders called Black Widows that are aggressive poisonous spiders that I was always afraid would somehow jump around my foot or broom or whatever weapon I could find to smash the horrible creatures and bite me!! This again may be an exaggeration but none the less....I can now smash brown recluse with my shoe or whatever weapon is close so there is a little improvement in managing my fears.
In the past six weeks living in beautiful France, I have added another thing to my list of fears: Freddy Krueger, a gruesome nightmare axe murderer invented in Hollywood - but maybe he also lived in France?! Ok, a horrible movie released in 1980 (I was 11) that I never actually watched except I have a pretty good idea that if you are a girl running in a dark forest from a guy in a hockey mask who is carrying a machete, your chances are 100% that you are going to trip and fall and its lights out senorita. Why the recent addition:
Exhibit A: The basement where I have to take my garbage:
Enough said....Except I did notice that my storage locker is B13!! OH and one more thing...The lights are timed and so if you stay down there too long, the lights go out and you are left to fumble along the walls until you happen to find the switch to turn the lights back on. Right before you find the switch, you feel a cold drop of blood that is dripping off Freddy Kruegers scarred and bloody face....I can live with garbage!!

Creepy. Dark, spooky, and ripe for a murder scene. I think you can live with garbage, too.
