Okay so you know how there is this ongoing dilemma where people are saying that TV and movies can screw with kid’s brains and same goes with that crazy action packed killer video games? Well I don’t want to get into the kid side of it, but how I believe that TV and movies can effect older teens and adults, well mostly me!
Well last night after a late dinner out in my gazebo at my cabin I decided to go inside to change into some cooler clothes. It was 35 degrees with humidity, I felt like I was swimming through the air, not loving it. So I was in my room which is placed at the back of our lovely barn red A-framed cabin. My windows were open blinds up, dark out. If it was a weekend I would have usually closed my blinds when changing, cause’ you never know when a drunk guy or gal may come wondering up the back path. Not like it’s ever happened but who knows with people these days right? Anyways, Here I am changing out of my clothes, shirt fully off and pants off. Then I hear some rustling on the path, I didn’t pay much attention to it first until it got louder and closer. I was thinking that it was my father trying to play a prank on me so I yelled out the window “Dad!?” no reply. The rustling got louder and the footsteps were more distinct. Ok so first things that were frantically flying in my head were “Shit, it might be a drunk rapist! No! What if it’s a serial killer on the loose! Ok, I need pants!! No! Maybe a shirt, what would they want first? Crap, maybe I should close my blinds!” so I closed my blinds after tripping over my pile of clothes which I made within the few second of my genius planning. After closing the blinds I booked it to slam off my light switch so no one could see into my room from the outside. Few seconds after, I heard two people running up my cabins front stairs soon realising that this was most likely my parents, and then assuming the worst that they were running from whoever or whatever was in the bushes. “Maybe they are being chased by whoever is outside our cabin! Should I finish getting my pants on? What do I do!” They burst into the house and the motion censored security light at the back of the cabin turned on. “Oh great, I was right! Something or someone is really back there! And we are in the middle of nowhere surrounded by trees which stop sound!” I got my clothes on and ran out of my room running around the cabin locking all the doors.
Okay so I will stop there because after all this I went on for a half hour thinking the worst. My parents believe I freaked out like this was from watching too much CSI and NCIS and all those crazy crime movies and shows. I sadly have to give in, and just believe that it was a bear. Still scared of bears though...-Tasha xoxox
