…But in just this past year a paradigm shift has occurred. Now instead of my head, the fear goes directly to my heart and detonates. Now the fear is real.

Like Nightmare on Elm Street where Freddy follows you out of the bad dream… Tonight I had a nightmare and woke up clutching my chest. Then I fell back to sleep and it happened again! So what is a poor boy to do? Write about it I guess (sheepish half grin)
Heart disease is the leading cause of death for both men and women. (Tick..Tick…)

A poor one! Though I think there is no fear to be afraid of fear!! Freddy might have long nails, but watch out… you have your dim-switch!😅😉🤙
I do! Actually alcohol is a great dimmer switch for the racing heart🍷
Oh, yes! Cheers, my friend.🥃🥂🖖
I’ve actually had many nightmares about Freddy Krueger. Always ironic when that happens.
I find the 11 minute opening of the original ‘Scream’ is one of the nest openings of any horror film; I’ve viewed it countless times —
“I liked that movie. It was Scary.”!😈!
The scariest thing in media I ever experienced wasn’t a movie, it was a game ― “Fatal Frame II: Crimson Butterfly”. Holy crap did that make me jump out of my seat umpteen times.
