Ending of Carrie is the best. Even knowing it, you jump because they stretch it out. Hitchcock opined on knowing there was a bomb under the chair was not suspense, but NOT KNOWING when it will go off is!
That sort of thing can be really scary. And painful – when you panic in a situation alike this, cats tend to extend their claws in order to either hold on tight or jump away – either way, you’re getting bloodied.
True Story…I had stated to date a sweet young woman. We hadn’t gotten to the kissing part yet. The was having trouble with her furnace, which I assessed to be it was in need of a new filter. Since I was going to have to crawl the the dirt in the crawl space we mutually agreed I would bring a change of clothes and take a shower after the repairs were complete. As planed I took my shower. When I got out I needed to attend to other physical needs on her toilet. Her cat snuck into the room and jumped atop my shiny balding head. Not being a fancier of cats, I was afraid if I removed it myself it would dig its claws in. I did not find that to be an attractive option. I called for Laura to rescue me from my unhappy plight. She came in and removed the cat, I’m sure she got a good look at my necked person. I don’t have any idea how much she saw because I was afraid to move my head. I’m sure I made a great story for friends and family.
Oh, dearie me! I almost feel sorry for Monty today, except that he insisted on putting up such a false front of bravado. I hope he didn’t leave a stain on the sofa when he wet himself….
