Here’s how it happened;
Last night, around 2am in the morning, I decided to go sit under the carport in my favorite easy chair. Just behind me, on the desk in the screen porch there’s a touch lamp and I always touch it just once so I’ll have enough light to see but not enough light to attract a lot of bugs. Anyway, light was very dim, but right over my shoulder inside the screen porch. Man it was a beautiful night, calm, quiet, those little night sounds that are so typical when you’re on a camping trip at the edge of a lake. I gotta tell ya, my mind was so far away from where I was sitting I can’t even recall where it was at.
Well, after a bit I reached up to take off my reading specks so I could wipe my eyes, and when I did I sort of was lowering them towards my lap, and that’s when it attacked me, a little spot of bright light moving swiftly towards my bare feet across the concrete floor. Nearly frightened me out of my mind. Without even thinking I shot out of that seat in an all effort to dodge the little creature before it ate my handspme little feet, even shouted the "S"-word, but to my surprise as soon as I moved the darn thing was gone. Right after my heart stopped pounding, which took a couple of minutes, I finally figured out that it was the light shinning through my reading specks after I took them my off and was moving them towards my lap. But man, when you’re just not of the mind to be expecting something like that……
