I always remember being afraid of three things: Aliens/UFOs, the Dark, and Heights. I don’t remember lots of details. My memory is absolute crap and
has always been. I can remember things I need for business, and tasks with absolute perfection but when it has anything to do with myself or my life
it is a struggle to remember much.
I have always loved animals, and when I was 7 I was out in the front yard playing when a collie dog that looked like lassie pranced into my yard. My
mother was getting me something to drink in the kitchen. I ran up to the dog to pet it and it took my face into its mouth and started thrashing. My
mother was on her way back out and ran to the dog and beat him off of me. Turned out the dog was rabid and had been released by a vet in the country
because he did not want to put him down for some reason and the dog had made it into my neighborhood. I felt no pain. The dog had torn completely
through my cheek. I remember pushing my fingers into my mouth and looking in and hand mirror laughing as my parents stood by horrified trying to
figure out what to do.
We lived in a small town and had a small hospital but no emergency room. My parents contacted our family doctor who met us at his office, gave me
rabies shots in my stomach, and used his wife’s embroidery thread to stitch up my face. This later turned out to be a huge ordeal and I ended up
having plastic surgery to repair the damage about 7 weeks later. Now all I have is a faint scar along my jawline.
Two weeks after this happened to me (the dog attack) my mother was taking my sister and I shopping my sister was in her car seat and the car doors
were locked. I was in the front seat and she was in the back. My sister was developing slowly due to her variety of medical issues. She could not talk
or walk and was still crawling. However, somehow she managed unbuckle the car seat from the safety belt in the car, unlock the car door, and pull the
car door handle. She could not however push the door open, but as soon as we rounded a corner she (and her carseat) went flying out of the car. She
survived but broke both of her arms.
To help you imagine the scene. Now my parents had me with over 300 stitches across both of my cheeks and my sister with both arms in casts.
When I was about 8 my fear of aliens/UFOs, the dark and heights seemed to heighten. I remember one time somehow getting stuck in the living room
behind the couch and crying emphatically for my mother for what seemed like 30 minutes and when she came running in there she asked what was wrong and
when I told her aliens she slapped me across my face and told me to get ahold of myself and put me in bed. I don’t know why I was behind the couch
or why I was scared of aliens. I just was.
When I turned 9 my blonde hair turned brown, deep brown, except for a 1 inch square of hair above my left ear which still to this day is blonde.
When I was 11 I came across a copy of the Marquis De Sade’s 120 Days of Sodom at the library and read it cover to cover. I felt nothing, some parts
I found humorous but I was never disgusted or shocked as I should have been. When I told others about the stories in the book they treated me like a
sick freak.
