For a split second I wonder how I would handle being trapped in a mist filled with giant mutated insects. My immediate thought is 'Well, I've seen the movie, so I know what not to do.' I then return to making my lunch. Yes, there is fog outside. This is precisely why I don't watch horror movies. I have enough to deal with without having to worry about giant insects or worse yet, nature attacking us. The Happening still has me wary of going outside. I saw that movie over a month ago. Whenever I go anywhere now, I have a nagging fear that nature will try and kill me with a neurotoxin. Great. Just great.
To give a little background, I have always been like this. It only appears to be getting worse. When I was younger, I would have fun, vivid dreams where I was in whatever movie I had just seen. I would reenact scenes with my matchbox cars or Legos. That was until I saw Maximum Overdrive. I actually saw it numerous times because we had a VHS copy of it. My mother finally hid the copy in my father's armoire, so I would stop watching it. This could be because I had nightmares about machines coming to life and chasing me. Or it could be because all of the vehicles came to life in my Lego city and killed off their plastic owners. To this day, I will often wonder how I would survive should the machines take on sentience and try to kill off humanity.
As I type this, part of me wonders if it is safe to go outside and check the mail, as the fog appears to be getting thicker.
