#Situations

I was ready to make fun of myself for being scared. Then the second thing happened.

This started when I noticed one wrong detail, checked it again, and hated that it was still wrong. This happened at a childhood playground after rain. I was there with the friend who remembers the same rumor. Mud beneath one swing had no footprints. I joked every time the swing moved.

I was trying to prove an old fear was childish. There was no wind near the other swings. We heard a voice on the walk back. Now I do not want to sleep there tonight, and I keep checking the door even though I know how that sounds.

Shared memory makes coincidence harder to dismiss. If I wake up tomorrow and feel stupid, great. That is honestly the best outcome.
