the scream - do you have an unusual fear?

i know this is an impossible fear, but if i woke up and the people i care about had no idea who i was, then i don’t know what i’d do. it’s my only irrational fear haha

guernica - tell a story - any story you like

   once, me, my sister, and our cousin were on a walk together. it was in our neighborhood, so it was pretty quiet, everything was familiar. the sun was almost set, so we decided to take a shortcut to beat the darkness and get home faster. it was only one turn, but a turn that’d save us a block or two of straight walking, according to our gps. we were pretty stoked, and decided to take the cut. there was a huge sign saying “BEWARE OF DOG”, but we laughed it off. this was a mistake. as soon as we make that turn, this behemoth dog comes palumpfing after us. literally every minuscule muscle on this doggo was just bouncing about. my cousin is incredibly afraid of dogs, like, even tiny little floofers, so this wasn’t ideal for her at all. in that moment, i saw her run faster than i’d ever seen anyone else move in my life. she literally bolted. my sister ran as well, trying to catch up to my cousin. i honestly thought the dog was cute, despite fearing for my life, so i stayed behind to 1: make sure everyone else was okay, and 2: maybe pet the doggo before being possibly mauled. i just wanted to make sure my cousin/sister were okay, though. anyway. right as i was sure everyone was ahead, i ran, too. and i keep running, until i realize that there’s silence, so i look behind me, and this big ol’ floofer was on a chain this whole time. we were all played, rip. honestly tho, it was pretty cute in the end, and we ended up getting home even faster because of the running.

and that’s the story of how i almost let myself be mauled by a doggo to make sure my family was safe. rip.
