Name something you wouldn’t want to run into in a dark forest or in an abandoned building. (yeah it’s a retread. But there are new participants to SYW too who probably never answered it)
A pack of mean girls or a quicksand pit stocked with razor blades.
Do you believe in multiple dimensions or worlds?
Sure. I have no trouble believing there’s much more to the universe than our minds can comprehend.
Would you ever go to a graveyard at night?
Not unless I was being chased by a rabid pack of wolves and that’s where I’d find the giant search party ready to defend me.
What is the most frightening book you’ve ever read?
The Handmaid’s Tale is up there. Also The Stand and The Lovely Bones.
If you could have a spooky Halloween pet (black cat, owl, bat, rat, wolf), which would you pick out of the five choices?
Ooh, black cat, hands down. (Don’t worry, BrightSide. I’m not on the hunt for pet #5.)
What are you grateful for?
Cooler mornings, full moons, cheesecake, fish tacos, and the fact that Seven catapulting himself to the top of our dining room curtain rod didn’t bring the whole thing crashing down.

Quicksand and razor blades set my whole self on edge! Thanks, I’ll just stay home. Love the last photo of Seven.

It truly captures the concept of being tuckered out, doesn’t it. 😆😆

Thank you Laura for Sharing Your World! You do have quite the vivid imagination! I would say those are the most terrifying things to encounter in such a location thus far. Razor blades? Brrr. Quick sand? Double brrrr. Mean girls? Meh. All you have to do with that sort of waste of skin is be meaner right back at them. Bullies rarely stand up to someone who is willing to fight them (sometimes I guess, but I think it’s rare). And that’s advice that has rarely been useful to anyone targeted by bullies, so eh.
I have read all three of those books, and frankly I found “The Handmaiden’s Tale” to be more depressing than scary, and maybe that was the point. I enjoyed The Stand a great deal, but then King was the first person I ever read who put my time zone and location into a book too. The description of I-80 West and going towards Las Vegas was spot on. I didn’t like that he put ‘hell’ so close to Utah though, but it’s been predicted that this IS the place. The Lovely Bones horrified me clear through. But I have a hard time believing anyone could think that way in the first place. I don’t ‘get’ serial killers and murderers at all, and am not sorry I don’t. What an awful mind to have!
Seven is a beautiful kitty and kittens, like puppies, have a longer ‘youth’ than humans I think. He’ll become sedate one of these days, but thanks for sharing his antics with everyone! Lovely photos!
Have a magnificent week!

Thanks, Melanie, we’re enjoying Seven’s spunky ways. It did occur to me that he’ll be 10+ pounds this Christmas, and if he barrels up the tree like he did last year…well, I think we’d better figure out a way to anchor that thing to the wall. 😆

Thanks for warning me about The Handmaid’s Tale. I was going to read it someday, but now I think I’d better reconsider, if it’s up there with The Stand. Not that I’ve read that one either, but someone recommended it back in the early days of COVID when I was looking for pandemic reads.

Oh no, I read The Stand years ago. I absolutely don’t think I could read it now in pandemic times. My heart can’t take it.
