I’ve been a bit under the weather. The doctor prescribed me a cough medicine with codeine.
Wrapped in a warm blanket snuggle into the depths of the sofa, the darkness had settled and with it a drowsy drugged feeling. I hadn’t coughed in almost an hour.
The light from the television pushing just enough light into the room to make out the patches on Grandma’s old quilt.
Soft elevator music played in the background while a man in the lobby of a large office building buffed the floor. A comforting fog moved into my mind.
What was the name of this movie? My mind drifted like a cloud.
A deafening crash echoed through the room as a body slams on top of a truck on the screen in front of me.
My chest was heaving my body tense, I was hardly able to process what just happened. I looked around at the people watching TV with me. They were staring at me with open mouthed amazement.
“Did I scream out loud?”
“Yeah,” my roomie replied.
I screamed like I have never screamed before. Hollywood pays people for this kind of high pitched, gut wrenching scream of terror. I tell you this so that you may learn a lesson from it. If you are taking cough medicine with codeine, do not watch a movie called Devil. I had to pray myself to sleep last night.
ooo i should give it a go then

I’m not sure it was really that good or if it was enhanced by the cough med’s.

Deidra – Just surfed over because you liked a article on our HorrorAddicts.net blog and I loved your pic! And then I loved your quotes. Since I am new to you… do you have any books out right now? Or are we feverishly awaiting the premiere?

I’m more of a nyquil man…not the sugar-coated, cherry flavor version. But the hard stuff; the original, green, with the licorace taste from hell. I’m sure you’re feeling better by now.
Cheers,

I like this, Deidra! Sounds a little like my days lately… the chocolate wine you write about in your observations can do that to me if I drink it too fast. Love that stuff. Thanks for checking out my blog, and ‘liking’ my post on “keeping sane part II”!

the movie Devil was good, just like all other m.night shymalan’s movies – that have a underling meaning that is positive – a reminder to us all that evil lurks in many forms and unexpected ways – so be aware and be awake of what say, so, think. they are watching…

yeah, I don’t think I would watch a movie called “Devil” if I weren’t taking codeine. 🙂 LOL! There’s enough of “him” in the world (and my crazy imagination) that I don’t need to add to it. Hope your feeling better!
