My little sister, Jaci reminded me of this scary story.
We shall preface with a reoccuring nightmare I had as a child. I would have this nightmare night after night and it was always as terrifying as the first time. I would dream that Jaci and I were playing in the front yard, but she was always sitting in a car seat on top of the car. So I guess she was really only watching me play. At any rate, this guy would always come to kidnap Jaci...he never wanted me. I would see him coming and automatically know what he wanted since I had this dream so many times. I would try so desperately to get Jaci off the top of the car, but I couldn't reach. I could never decide whether I needed to stay out there with her and try to get the guy to leave her alone or if I should take a chance and run to the house to get my parents. It was terrible. At the time, my dad had this tv show called FishTv, so I would always try to bargain with him...haha. I would tell him that I would give him a FishTv sticker and t-shirt if he would just leave Jaci alone. I would always wake up just as he was getting ready to take her.
So, now you know that I always had a fear of something like this happening...and so it did.
One evening Jaci and I were playing basketball in our culdesac. At this time of life, Jaci was impossible...I'm sure she'll admit it now. She wanted to do the exact opposite of everything I would say. It was beginning to get dark and I kept seeing this guy walk back and forth at the end of our culdesac...very creepy. To make it a little worse, we were the only ones around since it was getting dark...everyone else was inside. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw him start to walk up the culdesac. I tried not to panic because I didn't want him to know that I noticed him and start running for us. So, I calmly put the basketball down and said, "Jaci, we need to go inside." I started to walk up our driveway and notice that Jaci is not following me...of course. So, now I start to panic a little bit. I turned around and yelled at Jaci to come inside, meanwhile, the man is getting closer. Naturally, she doesn't come. All those memories of the nightmares came flooding back and I really freaked out. I opened the front door and yelled for my mom. As my mom came outside, the man saw her and ran away.
I'm not sure what would have happened if my mom didn't come outside, but I'm just glad it all ended well.
Lesson to be learned from this: ALWAYS listen to your big sister because you just might be on the verge of getting abducted.
Ok...so...here are some pictures (a lot of pictures) of my sisters and me in honor of us not getting kidnapped:
