Omigosh - I almost forgot about this contest til it was almost too late! Now that's really scary!

But here's my story of when I was really scared once when I was little:

My mom and dad and my brother and sister and I went on vacation to Disneyland one summer, when all 3 of us kids were all under about 10 years old. And we drove, in the family car, "Griswold family"-style, all the way from our home in Oklahoma to Southern California- something like 2000 miles, I think, right? Whatever it was, it was an awful long way, especially in the summer and with 3 little kids in the car!

I guess by the time we got to New Mexico (about halfway-ish), the kids were probably getting antsy, tired of being in the car, etc., etc., and my mom decided to divert our attention by telling us a story. A true story though!

We were just passing through Tucumcari, NM, a name that will always sound scary to me because of this story she told us! She said that some convicted murderer had escaped from prison near here once and was never caught. Rumor was that he was hiding somewhere in Tucumcari, the very town we were in right then! I wish I could remember all the details of her story, because she made sure it was a good one, but I can't remember much except that this man was a murderous monster and he was known as "RED-EYE!" Twisted Evil

(Can't remember why he had that nickname!)

The whole town knew about him, and everyone was scared of him because of all the horrifying things he'd done and since he was still on the loose to this day! She said since his escape, young people parked out on Lover's Lane came back with stories of being terrorized by him, and at least some of them didn't live to tell the tale!

She kept saying this was all a true story and that if you asked anyone in this town about "RED-EYE" Twisted Evil

, they'd tell you the same thing. Well, I remember not being sure if she was making it all up or not, but she told it seriously enough that I was still scared, even if I wasn't sure I believed her or not!

So anyway, pretty soon, we stopped to eat at a restaurant, still in Tucumcari, and as we were leaving, the waitress stopped us and in a FEARFUL voice told us to be sure and be careful out there because, as she said, "You do know about RED-EYE Twisted Evil

, don't you?"

All 3 of us kids GASPED and said "You mean he's really real?" and all that, and the waitress went on to corroborate my mother's story and told us how scared everyone was of him and how he'd killed people and all that, and so we thought it was a true story and thought it was a real scary one too!

I know now that when we got ready to leave that restaurant, my mom went off to the restroom, and on her way back to our table, she stopped that waitress and told her about the RED-EYE Twisted Evil

story she'd been scaring us with on our way there, and asked her to play along! I bet she got a little tip from my mom too for doing it, now that I think about it.

I don't remember when I found that out, but I've heard that story a hundred times in our family of how she told the story and then got a local waitress in on it to get us good and scared.

So remember, if you're ever in Tucumcari, watch out for RED-EYE! Twisted Evil

I know I will!

THX 4 CONTEST!

Hello PC Members!

I must admit that the hair on the back of my neck stood up more than once while reading your scarey stories!

How little we really know when it comes to the mysteries of Life!

In my opinion, Mankind has always overestimated our intelligence about All Things. I believe you do not have to see it or understand it for a thing to be real and to exist, as surely as we exist.

Thank goodness, poker does not have to be a mystery!
