OMG, this was FUNNY 🤣. really nice. I've never done such a thing but it was a funny and very terrifying story. Thank you for sharing this. I just finished this course called the craft of storytelling and I had to listen to the podcast to get the full experience, and I'm glad I did. I can't wait to here about the other stories.
