terror.. actual terror
When was the last time you actually screamed outloud? Not just screamed at somebody you were upset with, or ranted and raved about Bill O’Reilly being fair and balanced. I mean like complete “I may have just shit myself” scream from the soul.
It’s intense. I just found myself screaming involuntarily- probably for the first time since i was 7 years old watching The Predator 2 at my aunt and uncle’s house right before bed. I definitely had nightmares all night. That was almost twenty years ago and life was exciting and full of thrills. I don’t expect to be compelled to feel so intensely these days.
Screaming in terror was like an out of body experience. It was like someone else’s voice. It was even like someone else’s scream, because the entire experience happened in slow motion to the point where, while the scream was still going I was actually reacting to the cause of the scream (jumping up, closing windows, comforting pets), even managing to utter some words during the scream. ”Get out of here!” sounded more like gibberish than words, however I kind of felt like Harrison Ford.
What could terrify me enough to have me wide awake at 5:30am on a Sunday? Waking up to the evilest cat in my neighborhood screeching at my cat through a window 2 feet from my face causing him to soar over my head precisely at the moment I wake up.
Although this is a random evil cat off the internet, the evil cat in question this morning looks exactly the same, if not even more evil.
