I think the scariest thing that ever happened to me was when I was twelve. I had been running on some trails behind a humongous abandoned tunnel for a race, and I was in front of most of the people but I was really tired. The tunnel is a popular tourist site, so there were people reaching the end of the tunnel while I was entering it. Some guy made a weird face at me and kept walking, but I was too beat to react.

It is completely dark after a few feet into the freakin' tunnel, and it's scary going on your own, especially when you're twelve. I was getting increasingly freaked out as I walked, and about when I was in the middle of the tunnel I got really scared and started running. What really set this for the freakiest moment of my life was that, as I started to run, someone, presumably that guy that made the face at me, started to laugh really loud, and it echoed through the tunnel, seeming to follow me as I ran.

As I reached the car my friend who was in front of me asked me what was wrong because I looked so freaked out, but I didn't say anything about it. It inspired me to write a story about that tunnel, though. I've promised myself that I will work hard on it and post it up on here.

Another freaky moment was when my ex was acting like s/he was possessed and almost fuckin' stabbed me and/or slit my throat. I just stood there while s/he was behind me, and I told her/him, "Do it." Or the time where s/he was trying to take me to the river beside her/his house to drown me.

But that was an abusive relationship, so every moment was fucking scary.
