enJOY it

I had forgotten.  When people ask, "What is your Biggest Fear?" I never remember.  Fears are tricky that way.  You do not think about them until they are right in front of you.  Or in my case, right next to me. 

I am driving.  In the freshly-washed & gassed-up (thank you, Dad) bug (ironic?).  Radio on.  Windows down. And out of  nowhere, a giant dragonfly flies in and lands on the passenger seat.  It was so huge I thought I would get a ticket if  I didn’t get a seat belt on it.  And I panicked.  I made that noise that you can never duplicate.  It is sort of like when you swallow and cough at the same time.  And I made very small movements until I arrived at my destination.  And I flew out of the car.  I do not even think I turned it off.  And then I opened the passenger door and tried to hit it outside.  And then it started to fly around as if it was scared of me.  And then I did not see it anymore. 

At least now I have a Biggest Fear.
