(Or at least I don’t think it has.)
Today I felt claustrophobic at a local candy store. And I was really close to dying. Ok, so maybe it was only a mild panic attack and not death, but I still felt horrible enough that I had to step out for a few breaths. It was insane and I’ve never felt that closed in before. Let it be known that I will never go there on a weekend. Ever.
To start with the candy store is oh-so-small. Add in a bunch of foaming-at-the-mouth kids (not mine, mind you), big candy-crazed adults, and the overwhelming smell of popcorn and candy, and you have the setting for a horror story. I mean, really, if it wasn’t for the intoxication from the popcorn and candy, I might have not been able to post this. (Read: I may have been in jail due to mass murder.)
