What is the scariest story you ever were told (fiction)?
What is your favorite skill you have learned? and did you teach yourself, or did you learn from someone else?
That is all for now, perhaps I will think of more later.
The scariest story...this one was really hard for me come up with an answer for. I really don't remember.
I remember when we lived in Texas and Mark was in the Army. He used to call home, and if I answered he would pretend to either be his Sargent (?) and tell me that he (Mark) had died. That would always traumatize me. Sometimes, when I would answer when he called he would pretend to be his own ghost. I remember screaming after those calls. Sometimes he would just make up horror stories of things he had done or seen. I used to remember some of them , but it has been so long. After I finally figured out he was just joking around during those phone calls it did become fun to answer and listen to his stories.
I don't really remember much of Mark before those phone calls, since we are so far apart in age and he left home when I was still so little. I wish I remembered his stories better.
I don't know if that qualifies as hearing a scary story, but I don't really remember any other scary stories.
My favorite skill I have learned... I'm not sure how to answer this one, I don't feel skilled at anything. I have tried many things, but have failed at almost all of them. I teach myself most of the things I attempt to do, and that may be why I fail at them. Some day I hope to learn to do many things successfully. For that I think I will others teach me.
I remember Mark would tell us that his commanding officer's dog died and they would bury it and dig it up and bury it again, repeatedly so that they would have good practice for when they would actually go to war. Though I am not sure if it was on the phone, or in letters, or both even. He sure can tell a great story.
