Better Late Than Never

Well one holiday just passed us and another is approaching right around the corner. I thought i would take some time and reflect on Halloween and share a story which might have been the scariest time of my life, at the time. My one good Halloween story took place a long time ago, i must have been twelve or thirteen. So when your at that age what do you do on Halloween... go trick-or-treating? Nope not us! we decided that we were going to the corn maze! We basically wanted to scare ourselves to death and thats what we came up with, the local corn maze, in Huntsville, Alabama. A group of my friends and I dug into our piggy banks and hitched a ride with the neighborhood mom with the biggest mini-van and headed thirty minutes out to the middle of no where. The whole drive we were exchanging stories about what we heard about the maze and well i was freaking out. Let me just say this before i continue i USED to be the biggest pansy when it came to stuff like this, i hated scary movies, i would not walk anywhere in the dark, and i hated people jumping out at me screaming in my face. What a death trap i was getting myself into... im just a lil twelve year old kid i dont know better! I have to say i was warned, my parents warned me not to go that i wouldnt be into this kind of thing, but i was out to prove them other wise and the girl was crushing on hardcore was coming along. You better bet your bottom dollar im going! We all arrived hopped out of the mini-van and dumped out our loose piggy bank change to get the orange ticket. We asked how long it takes to get through the lady answered "anywhere from an hour to three hours" say what?! Keep in mind while she is saying this in the background you can hear high pitched screams and chainsaws. I should have seen the red flags but there was no turning back now the girl i was crushing on was there i can just leave! i would have been ruined! Right before entering we all bought glow sticks half of us purple and the other half green. We were going to compete to see which team would get through the fastest. So lucky and naturally i got the same glow stick color as "her". We entered (bad idea) a few scares here and there and im already freaking out but there is no way im showing it cause i dont want her to see i cant handle this. Well about half way through we are running and i get separated after some crazed killer is chasing us through the maze. I turn the corner and the green glow sticks are no where to be found and im alone. Awesome. So i try no to loose it and just trace my steps backward thinking i may have missed a turn. Post turning the corner i bump into Micheal Myers (the guy from "Halloween" the movie) i scream bloody murder cause he was my most feared character and as if screaming wasn't enough he took my glow stick backed me up in a corner threw my glow stick on the ground and chomped it up into peices with what i thought was a fake knife... guess not. I will not describe to you my reaction to what he did to my glow stick. I escaped the near death experience cause when my adrenaline kicked in aint nothing stopping me from getting the heck out of that maze. I am a sprinter i was fast, ran track almost my whole life. Well it paid off i was just cutting corners and not looking back things would jump out at me and i would already be gone. I end up passing my team and keep running for the gold. When all the sudden... light appeared i had finished! Turning the corner to find out... it was the half way point. My team followed in from behind me and out of breath we all laughed cause we were only half way done with this hell hold. You could not pay me to finish the next half of that maze, but she was watching and just as i entered the first time i was about to enter a second time. The things we do for love. So we did just that, entered in a second time. This girl that was crushing on was out of her mind scared though and its not helping me! I already cant handle this and her she is freaking me out more! But its all good cause she was leaning me to keep her from being scared little does she know how i feel i wanted to lean on her! I was scared too this isnt fair and some how we end up in the front (now everyone knows your dont want to be in the front cause when something jumps out your suddenly in the back!) There also wasnt a "we" are in the front its just me in the front cause she is hiding her face in my back, and now everyone is looking for me to lead this whole group through this maze. Ha, yeah right! But i had no choice, it was all up to me now. Then we hear the chainsaw, i dont think a girl has jumped into my arms faster than she did when that chainsaw started up. Any other time i would be happy, but this time it was a burden. I did not know how i was going to how this girl with texas chainsaw massacre guy coming towards us. I froze. I could not move the fear was just eating me alive, then he turned the corner. I dont think i have ever dropped a girl but hey there is a first time for everything right? No no no im just kidding! With her in my arms and me screaming like girl i closed my eyes and he ran right past us to chase my other friends who ran. Only for me to realize the end of the maze was right in front of us. Thats when i bolted out of there and the parents laughing at us at the finish, which i did not find anything funny about the situation. She was striped from my arms and i was hero of the day. Go figure, i didnt see that one coming. Then She asked "where you not scared i didnt hear you scream once?!" To which my reply "oh what? oh yeah na, scared ha?" Little does she know :)
