When were you last really scared?We'd been watching the Shining. We were staying in an old church building. In hindsight, taking the shortcut home after midnight, in the mist, through the old graveyard was a bad idea.
I'm not sure what started it, but suddenly all the hairs on my neck had gone up and I was crapping myself. It was almost as bad as when, after a few cups of coffee too many and buzzing on caffeine, I got freaked out by my own reflection in the toilets.

yes dear, it was very funny.Oooh about 13 years ago when still courting the now Mrs Smorgasbord, she'd driven over to York with her friend Nat and wasn't due back until late.
I'm waiting for her to arrive back and thinking she's a pushing it a bit.
All of a sudden I get a horrible feeling of fear, for no reason, for about ten seconds. Then the phone rings: it's her, obviously very upset. I'm seriously freaked.
"Christ, what's wrong? Are you OK?"
"Yeah (sob) I'm OK, (sob) It's, it's Nat, (sob) the car, It just..."
That feeling when the mixture of horror and adrenaline reaches your feet? Fuck, I was close to passing out from it.
"HA HA HA! Only joking, I'm just dropping Nat off. Back in ten minutes"
Can't believe I still married her.
Length? Irrelevant, it's still catatonic from shock.
