Awkward Words

Most of us have stories to tell-- a creepy, or just a sort of a scary story. I have had a lot of experiences of the same kind. Some I don't want to recall and some I sort to laugh on.

 

It is awkward to wish you to enjoy my stories, but I hope you do.

A Scary Story I Never Heard

I was planning to nap when I heard someone asked a question. "What was your embarrassing moment?" Then I thought of the incident about the story that I never heard.
