Having the Dickens Scared out of Me

Here is a neat message from the Universe:

Life is where one goes, Marilyn, to temporarily believe in death, fleetingly forget their power, and briefly have the Dickens scared out of them, voluntarily.

All in the name of adventure.

You're bad,
The Universe

P.S. Kind of like jumping out of a perfectly good airplane, huh Marilyn? Times a billion.

I had the dickens scared out of me last night as I watched a movie that had scenes I normally can never watch, because, even though I know the movie itself isn't real, I feel the fear grab me as I envision it happening in real life (which, thankfully, I know isn't real anymore). It allowed me to see things that have scared the dickens out of me with new appreciation for the genius of the creation.

And just in time too, for in the middle of the night, I woke up out of a sound sleep with the feeling that something was terribly wrong. I will tell you the rest of this scary story tomorrow.
