Picture It...
My brother and I are on an overnight hike in the White Mountains...
It is cold and rainy and dark, and we had gone each gone to our respective tents to get some sleep.
I put my iPod on to watch a movie for a bit. I don't remember which one but I can be fairly certain that there was shooting and boobs in it because those are my favorite kind.
Anyway...
When the movie was over I shut my iPod off and I laid down to catch some Zs.
Suddenly, I heard this low growling outside my tent...
It sounded really CLOSE by.
Too Close.
I sat quietly and hoped the growling would stop, but it persisted.
I took out my pocket knife and crept carefully toward the opening of my tent.
I wasn't sure what the hell I was going to do with my little dinky pocket knife, but damn it, I was going to go out there and DEFEND MY CAMP.
The growling seemed to be getting louder...
It sounded WILD and FIERCE.
I unzipped my the tent and cautiously looked around to confront the beast.
I couldn't see anything!
Gripping my knife, I began to survey the area...
The growling appeared to be coming from my brother's tent!
For a moment I thought,
OH MY GOD! THE BEAR HAS GOT STEVE!
But then I realized...
Geez! My brother snores like a wild animal!

I think it was hilarious....like you would attack a wild animal with your pocket knife! Now a snoring brother...yes, I can see the knife being handy!
Very funny...you had me on the edge of my seat waiting to see what happened! Visiting from mama kats!
Great Story.. love the twist at the end.... :)I do know some guys really snore very loudly like a bear.
Totally loved this story!!
Too funny! I love your writer's workshop stories. They always reel me in.
LOL - I've camped with someone that snored like that - seriously.
I love that it was just snoring - I tell my husband he snores like a freight train!
LOL. Sawing the logs wozzeee?
Sounds like a Girl Scout's nightmare novel.
I haven't been camping in years, I'd hate to be mistaken for a bear!
That is hillarious! Too bad you can't conquor loud snoring with a pocket knife.
Once we went on a family reunion with my husband's side of the family. We were all camping in a field in tents. My husband doesn't snore and so I was shocked to discover that everyone else in his family does. Loudly. It was like a concert of snoring. So horrible! We ended up having to move our little family into a nearby bed and breakfast because we could not sleep with all that racket!
lmfao - well told! I'm glad he spared his brother's life!
OH MY GAWSH. The funniest visual for me was the "pocket knife" except it was more like a nail clipper file thingy. I love my humor in my mind.
Hugs!

Overnight hikes are the pits, I think as I've never been on one or ever imagine that I will.
Oh man, that was so cute! But he's too little to like boobs! Slow down, mac daddy.
I can so see you doing that!
