Shut It Down Now

Man learns lesson hard way Gets too close to mother bear and cubs I see the headline but do I click? The morbid side of me agrees with the curious side. We really should see this. But wait. My nightmares for years side reminds me. What horribleness would we be seeing? Does the mother bear eat the man’s head? The morbid side smiles, thinking weird thoughts about this. My true blue side kicks in and has the last word. She knows how tender hearted I am, and how horrified I can be. She has stayed up with me during nightmares that last years. SHUT IT DOWN NOW! She commands. I am relieved.

I know myself well enough to not want to have nightmares for ten years.
