Pink Think: “Everybody in their own imagination decides what scary is.” – Yvonne Craig

In the spirit of Halloween, and in reply to the awards that Jessica of Cougar Tales, LeSan of Blue Gate Gardens and Georgie of Author’s Desk have bestowed upon me (thank you!) here is a list of ten things that scare me:
1. Ghosts and ghost stories. As a child, my relatives always treated us to scary stories at family gatherings.
2. Heights. I don’t like climbing ladders or going on roofs.
3. Covers over my head. I get claustrophobic.
4. That when I come home from vacation, I would find my house burned down. When we round that corner and I see my house intact, I breathe a sigh of relief.
5. Being stranded on an island without dental floss
6. Head hunting tribes
7. Buildings without a thirteenth floor. My mind keeps wanting to search for that missing floor.
8. My husband appearing behind me as though from nowhere. He just has to walk up to me and I jump! I am always accusing the poor thing of sneaking up on me.
9. Nightmares where I do something dastardly. And I wake up guilty. (What a relief to realize it was just a dream, but still I wonder…am I capable of that?)
10. Twilight Zone episodes from when I was a child and which now inspire my horror fiction
