Steven asked me to go to the car and grab a bag....
I told him the first ten rules of horror movies.
1: No.
2: No.
3: No.
4: No.
5: No.
6: No.
7: No.
8: No.
9: No.
10: No.
He came back from the car (he didn’t capitalize on the knowledge that I was terrified and do scary stuff like an asshole woulda done) and countered with his first rule of horror movies: always have a gun. He brought all the BB guns. Safe.
