Haunted

     Whenever I’m anywhere alone, whether it’s running or playing basketball, I get kind of scared. It just doesn’t feel right when there's no one to talk to. Although it’s not some big city where you have bad things happen to you by other people, there are still animals that live among that makes me scared to run alone. Animals such as bears, wolves, and coyotes. It’s not very common to see them but you still see them. Also, the fact that if I get lost, I wouldn’t be able to contact anybody. If I twisted my ankle or something like that, I could be stuck there for hours in the cold.

     In the dark, sometimes my dog will bark and I’ll jump out of my skin and almost have a heart attack. Even those minor things I just can’t handle. I have never been able to handle scary. That’s why I don’t watch many scary movies because I just can’t handle them. 

     Sometimes at night, I’ll go out to my basketball hoop on our driveway and I’ll be shooting hoops. Usually I don’t airball, but when I do, it rolls down our yard because our yard kind of a hill. I’ll have to run over and grab it, but its really dark. Usually it rolls for a little bit but it stops fairly quickly and I can run over and grab it. But sometimes it goes way too far. So far that you need to go and grab a flashlight to make sure that it’s actually a basketball that you see, and not your dog or something. So in short being alone is one of my weaknesses. It’s one of my pet peeves that I just can’t stand.
