Hello, I'm Blair Bathory, and this is the Something Scary podcast.

Thank you so much for being here, whether this is your first time or you're one of the brave souls who join us every week.

There are many uncertainties in life, but one thing we know for sure is we will all die.

We all know the options of an afterlife, be it in the spirit world, a rest will place beyond,

or the fiery pits of hell.

But no matter what you believe happens after death, we all know it will come for us.

Some people are accepting of that fact, and others will do whatever they can to avoid their fate

and run from the Reaper. First, when will you die? Followed by chasing death.

Then, do not stop, just drive.

Finally, in our featured story, a haunting sacrifice.

She stressed over the consequences of her actions, her parents' potential punishments.

She catastrophes the looming danger that could happen to them in the house without adults present.

What if there was a fire,

or a break-in, or a medical emergency, the possibilities were endless? Just before Jenny called her parents for an SOS pickup, Dan and Kaysen, two of their friends showed up. She would die of

embarrassment if they knew she was planning to be sick and leave.

With a deep breath and a fake smile, Ginny gave in and asked what movie they were going to watch.
