Writer's Block: Home Alone
the first time i was left home alone as a child i nearly had a panic attack. My parents left while i was asleep, and lucky me woke up from a nightmare to find that they weren't in the house. i ran to the bathtub with my favorite stuffed dog and cried my eyes out for about what seemed like hours until they got home. they found me shaking and crying in the bathtub. as i think back it is pretty funny, they were only gone for approximately twenty-five minutes. i was about seven years old when it happened.
