Taking Chances
"Being adventurous is betting on the unknown, willing to jump when you don't know if someone is there to catch you."--Unknown. This is one of my favorite quotes. It says that if you want to be adventurous you have to take chances. This quote takes me back to a night I had last summer. I was meeting up with some friends to go bowling, an exciting night planned by Scott, my boyfriend at the time. It was already eleven o'clock when we got there. It was summer time and we lost track of what day it was, so we did not think ahead about whether or not it would be opened and just assumed it was. Well we were wrong. So there we were, a nice summer night with nothing to do. Sitting on top of our cars, we tried to think of some ideas for what we could do. "Let's go to the swimming hole on the highlands gorge." suggested Scott. His idea was shot down by one of his friends. "Nah, the water up there is pretty cold, and besides none of us have suits." Said Cory. Then it was my best friend, Ashley, who came up with a great idea. "Let's go look at haunted houses." Everybody agreed on that one, a night of excitement and adventure sounded fun. The four of us got into Scott's jeep and headed out. So many abandoned houses supposedly are haunted
"Never mind!" screamed Scott looking freaked out. "Well of coarse the mirror moves without anybody touching it, when we walk it shakes the dresser." As we were walking to the back door, our leader informed us to watch our step on the broken up porch. "I know one last place that should be pretty scary or at least fun." Ashley quickly added, trying to get the guys minds off going into the one, we were at. "Maybe this isn't such a good idea." Ashley said. "No wait, everybody stand completely still." Scott said as he aimed the flashlight at the mirror. We all stood there directly in front of the mirror watching the light rock back and forth out of the reflection and onto the ceiling. We must have stood there for at least a solid minute without moving and the light reflected from the mirror was still moving at a steady pace. "Ok, the story is that there has been a crazy hermit guy living here who has stored all kinds of government documents in one of the upstairs bedrooms. The mirror in the other bedroom rocks back and forth on its hinges without anybody touching it."
