story Children are known for their vivid imaginations and fantasies, so let me began by saying that I was no ordinary child, according to my parents and every other adult relative that I has asked about this I was never one to make up stories or ever exaggerate,even at the age of 6 I was soft spoken and serious. I feel this is vital to point out,not to win over credible brownie points or anything like that, this story isn't so thrilling anyway but it is true. My father was in the military,and since birth I have moved around and have lived in about 3 different countries and many different states in the United States. At the age of 5 my father was stationed in Korea so he,my mother and I moved there. I recall very many things about my experiences there, like I was always being gawked at by the people there because of my huge green eyes ,they loved to crowd around and stare and ask me how to say a certain word in English. I became good friends with a young Korean girl about my a! ! ge named Sun-yu (that's how it was pronounced but I'm not sure how it's spelled). One afternoon we were playing at Sun-Yu's house, her house was very small and there was a seperate outhouse that was made up of 4 close together rotted wood walls and a rectangle hole in the floor where you did your business in. I avoided it completely, for fear of falling into the dark hole of stench. Sun-Yu and I decided to trade clothes,she in my red jumpers and Smurfs shirt and I in her bright Korean dress.
We were playing hide and seek around her house,and I was the hider. I slipped into this very large garage crammed between two houses in the naighborhood. After waiting for about 10 minutes I really had to pee like a racehorse, so I lifted up the dress and went right there on the floor amid the old boxes and storaged items. There was a very large door but it was locked shut and rusted over so the only way anyone would have gotten in was this very slim area that was less than a foot wide, only someone with a child-thin body could slide through. When I was done and about to get back up I heard a clinking noise in front of me and I looked up all the way my neck would bend and saw a rusty armored knight walking towards me slowly, holding an axe. As I recall this knight was at least 8 feet tall but considering I was only 5 and squatting on the floor it must have looked much taller than it was. Knights were something I have only seen in pictures in books and I recall every detail of ! ! it's suit and axe. My instincts told me to get the hell out and at first I fell hard on my knees and awkwardly tried to crawl behind some boxes with my panties still around my ankles. I didn't have to look to know it was coming towards me, I could hear the heavy footsteps,and I jumped on my feet and made a mad dash towards the only thin way out. I slammed my right side into the knight, I felt it as real as anything else.This memory is like a dream, but it wasn't a dream because I still have Sun-yu's dress that I was wearing to this day and there us still the dirty rusty scratch marks that are on the right side of the dress. When I recall this whole event I am watching myself from an outer perspective and it plays by like in slow underwater movements. This isn't exactly scary but to me it is because the memory of it feels more real than anything that has ever happened to me. I don't know why it was a knight of all things, but ever since then I have been terrified of knights an! ! d anything medievel.
