OFF LEASH: The door incident
"Off Leash" is an occasional column by Fiddler. Past columns can be found here.
I've mentioned before that I am frightened by thunderstorms. My level of fear ranks somewhere between neurosis and psychosis, a debilitating terror that leaves me shaking, drooling, and unresponsive to non-thunder stimuli. It is quite a sight.
Last night a thunderstorm passed through. As usual, I stood outside the bedroom door and whimpered. Let me note here that the bedroom door is made of wood and thick glass; it opens and closes on a sliding track. Last night my terror was so intense that I decided to push open the door with my head, snapping a plastic guide in the process. In other words, I broke the door.
This, of course, was not my intention. I only wanted to be where it seemed to me most safe. Still, let me just say: My bad.
