Channeling my youth. Awakened thinking of this one:
My bff in hs, Claudette, invited me to visit her older sister who was living in Questa, NM. Her sister had one kid and was expecting another. We took a bus out to Questa which is in the sticks and beautiful country. A small town, lots of mountain scenery.
Her sister's husband was in the armed forces, I don't remember which one, and he'd been wounded. There was something about a plate in his head, but I didn't pay too much attention cause I'd just gotten my license before we left and Claudette's sister owned a '66 Mustang.
Wow, was she insane to let me take that car out on the open road or what? I drove the mountain roads with the pedal to the floor and with both of us squealing as only almost sixteen-year-olds can do. I wheeled around switchbacks skirting the edge until Claudette begged me to stop. Deer and bunnies spread the word to stay off the road.
The husband hadn't been home for a few days. On the bus ride to Questa Claudette shared tidbits she'd picked up about him; he drank and had psychological problems, what we'd term post traumatic stress disorder nowadays, but again adult stuff - not all that interesting.
The house was small and Claudette snored, so I slept on the couch. One night the husband was home. He took us out for burgers, but was mostly quiet during dinner. In the middle of the night he crept into the living room where I slept. Literally folks, the man was on his hands and knees. I'm a light sleeper, and I'm also near-sighted, but the blurred vision of his stealth crawl is vivid in memory.
He crawled over to the couch and started touching me on top of the blanket, kind of petting me like I was a cat or something. I was totally freaked and pretended to be asleep. He reeked of liquor and mumbled some b.s. I could barely understand telling me I was beautiful and that he wouldn't hurt me. My heart beat so hard it filled my ears and drowned out all other sound.
I've always wondered if my heartsound woke up Claudette's sister. She tiptoed into the living room, but stepped on a squeaky floorboard as she rounded the corner. Busted! He immediately laid down on the floor like he was passed out. She went over to him whispering, and he acted like he didn't know how he got there and that he'd fainted. I was still pretending to be asleep.
I could barely look at them the next day and remember nothing more about our stay there.
Shite like that was always happening to me. For a long time I thought I must have some sort of electromagnetic draw for all the adult creeps in the world.

Are you having a "with great power comes great responsibility" moment?

Ha! Thank you for that.
No, I'm talking to myself since the person who started the discussion with me really didn't want to hear what I had to say. I sat there thinking, "What does she want from me?" And the answer that popped into my head was, "She wants the last word."
I hit reply and discovered I'd been blocked.
I hate being right sometimes.

In some ways it's unfortunate the virtual world makes it so easy to block out the things we'd rather not hear... Sometimes that's quite good for us...
Take comfort in the fact that you tried - some people have to learn the hard way, and perhaps this is one of them...

All that is great and kudos to learning things about humanity, but what I really want to know is did you get a nice tan from camp?

We do everything in dark here, but I managed to sneak down to the river with some very bad girls in the daytime. We can't get too tan cause then the camp proctors who are all proctologists will have our asses.
