I hate those things. Heights I can do... I just don't like being forcefully dropped from said height.<br /><br />Meanwhile, the horror writer in me is just intrigued by Aokigahara - the Japanese Suicide Forest. It's said to be connected with ancient demons, and roughly 100 people go there specifically each year just to kill themselves. There's even a sign at the trailhead urging people to think about their families and the ones they love. I bet that has to be quite the experience to visit that place.<br /><br />On that dark note... thank you thank you for the kind review of Slim! Silly as it may be, we're both delighted to hear that you liked it. And him. Slim was one of those characters whose infectious optimism made us both feel great for months after finishing that story. You know, which is probably a stark contrast from if we wrote a story about a haunted suicide forest. :)A Beer for the Showerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17029139745335325356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6034142332858737641.post-28786430109271042642015-07-26T13:32:04.776-04:002015-07-26T13:32:04.776-04:00I think it's a good thing for all of us to loo...I think it's a good thing for all of us to look at things like a kid; the only problem is, some adults still think and act like them, too. :)Susan Flett Swiderskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09425315552148200073noreply@blogger.com
