When i was younger my family and me went on vacation to ohio and we had fun except for one thing. It was a road trip and i was so excited. We had been on the road for hours and we finally stopped at a gas station. I stayed in the car and waited for my parents to come back with snacks and cola. While i was waiting i decided to look through the car. I was looking at bills and adds and didn't find anything interesting. I looked up and saw a man looking at me from far away he saw me looking at him and didn't move so i decided to lock my doors just to be safe. He filled up his car with gas and just sat in it. My parents finally came back and i was so happy. I didn't tell them what happens because i thought it wouldn't be important and they said my imagination was crazy. So i hopped back into the backseat and we were off. We turned on the radio sang song to katy perry and told each other jokes like "A man was walking in the rain with nothing to protect him and he came back with his hair not wet." Dad said "he was wearing a hat?"
i said "Nope he is bald kinda like you dad." We all laughed and kept on driving. I still couldn't stop thinking about that man he was so creepy and wouldn't stop staring at me. So i just left my doors locked. Until i saw a red truck at our next stop it was a bathroom it looked like the same one the man in the gas station had. My mom and i went to the bathroom but i still didn't have a good feeling in my stomach. I still went to the bathroom and when i came out the red truck was gone. We came in the car and my dad was shocked. when we asked him what happened he said "he... he... he came and .. and.. knocked on my window and .. and .. cracked it.we looked at the window and saw the crack we didn't think it was a good idea to go to the police because what would they do there were no cameras and i don't think my dad could describe him with all the sock he was in. We didn't end up making it to ohio but i did have a good time but it probably would have been better if we didn't make so many stops.
when I was younger my family and I were laying on the couch together. We were all watching Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs. I was lying there upside down looking at the T.V. The rest of my family had fallen sleep cuz it was a Saturday. I was playing with a dime and I put it in my mouth. I was spinning it in between my teeth- I was only 7-. I ended up swallowing the dime and choking on it. I started crying and screaming while o was choking. I ended up swallowing the dime in my mouth. I was scared for my life. I was rushed to the hospital because my parents didn't know what to do. When we got there, i thought i was going to need surgery and they were going to open up my stomach. I was crying for my life. They ended up telling my parents that ll i needed to was poop the dime out.
