WP Prompt of the Day: What’s a book or movie that genuinely scared you?

Book: I read “The Stand”, and developed pneumonia pretty early into the book.
Movie: “The Amityville Horror” remake was creepy as hell to watch in a big old colonial we’d just bought.
Honorable Mention: It’s terrifying to watch “The Handmaid’s Tale” play out in real time.

Hello, world. I’m myself again. I’m up, feeling as human as I ever do. After I made yesterday’s post, I stood under a hot shower, then went back to bed. The last time I had the mystery-sick, I figured out I can sleep through what I call “the cycling”- when my body rapidly shifts between sweating like crazy and then freezing. Sleeping through it all means I’m not “fighting” my symptoms and making myself feel worse. Shawshank had helpfully set my pillows up in the center of the bed, I popped a Gravol, and slept. I woke up a little later to repeat the sick-shower-Gravol-sleep process, sleeping through most of yesterday morning.

Today, we’re going on a road trip.
