Reminds me of the "Goosebumps" series of books by R.L. Stine. In every book, you think the ending is going to turn out okay, but then there's a plot twist that isn't so good for the MC.
I can't say I'm really into horror stories, but I DID enjoy the movie "Violent Night". It's like an R-rated version of Home Alone!
We're doing well, thanks. We'll be doing our grocery shopping tonight, after dinner. Max has his annual physical checkup on Saturday, and I promised him we'd go for cider and donuts afterwards. For now, though, I'll do some laundry, feed Sneakers, and then maybe do a bit of dusting around the house.
Today was a lazy, do-nothing sort of day. I made grilled cheese sandwiches for dinner. Cheddar, Muenster, and Asiago on sourdough, cooked in garlic butter.
