Many years ago I was babysitting my younger sister's children while she and her husband went somewhere or other.
The kids were asleep so I was watching TV late on a Saturday. There was an old black & white movie about a severed hand sneaking up on people and killing them.
I'm a bit s*** at watching horror movies to the point where most of my family won't watch them with me because of my constant jumping.
Anyway, my sister & husband came home and I didn't hear them. The husband, who was originally a friend of mine from school before he went over to the darkside, saw me tensely sitting on the end of the sofa wound up tight.
He crept into the kitchen, filled a marigold with water, knotted it and dropped it over my shoulder and into in my lap as my sister screamed and turned the lights out.
I do not know how I didn't die. It was some time before I could speak.
