Let's hear the most terrifying thing that ever happened to you. Here's mine, it's a bit gruesome, so it's definitely not for the faint of heart.

So, this happened around a year ago, and I can still remember it vividly. I was at home, sick, while the rest of my family was grocery shopping. I started to feel a bit better, and got up to go play with my cat, because she seemed a bit worried about me. So I found her little toy on the string, and started playing. Y'know, that game where the cat tries to snag the toy, but pull it up just in time? Well I was playing that game, and then swung my arm up too fast and high. Above my head was a ceiling fan, the type with the glass light on the bottom. The glass they used for that light is at least an inch and a half thick. Anyways, my hand hit the glass, and I heard shattering glass. My cat ran away, but I bent down on one knee and covered the back of my head with my hands. As pieces of glass fell all around me, I suddenly felt an incredibly sharp pain in my hand. I got up, and looked at my hand, to see a piece of glass had impaled it right through. I limped (another piece of glass had gone loosely into my leg, but fell out.) to the sink, pulled the piece of glass out of my hand, turned on the cold water, put my hand under it, and proceeded to go unconscious. My family came home to see broken glass and a trail all over the room, the tap running on high, and me, showing no signs of life, with a cut leg and a hole in my hand. I obviously scared them badly, but I came to pretty quickly. The scary part of this incident, was the fact I put my hands over the part of the head, at the back, where theres a little soft spot, between the neck and skull. If I hadn't had the presence of mind to do that, my family would've come home to an even worse story.

That's the scariest thing that ever happened to me.

well you don't need to worry if you don't have money on you because the other times I got mugged they just searched me and ran off after they realized I didn't have anything

this summer I was camping in the yellowstone without a tent, and halfway through the night my brother woke me up, and there was a coyote sniffing at my feet.

Well, it's a good thing you woke up. Coyotes are scavengers, they rarely hunt, and if it was night, and you were outside, laying still, he probably though you were dead. He ran away when you got up, am I right?

See? A coyote is basically a stray dog, just looking for food. But strays can be dangerous, they attack normal people every now and then, and coyotes might too. But usually they just to run, especially if the being their confronted with seems hostile.

yeah I wasn't really scared. I was just startled for a few seconds. It makes for a good story though.
