at least i'm not blonde and i am fully clothed

You guys, I set myself for horror.  Literally.  It is Halloween night, and I am staying late all by myself to work in the bookbinding studio. Was ever a situation more perfectly designed for a scary movie opening-shock-scariness-scene?  I think not. 
Points in my favor:
-I'm not a skanky blonde hanging out with my boyfriend
-I'm not babysitting
-Neither I nor anyone I know has desecrated an Indian burial ground, killed lepers for money, or failed to report a hit and run killing

Things suggesting my imminent demise:
-I'm in a remote mountain village
-This building has heck of windows and glass doors and suchlike, and is architecturally interesting
-Bookbinding tools make for some very creative possible weapons and killing devices

Looks like I've got a 50/50 chance of making it out of here alive. If I don't blog again withing 24 hours, send a large group of well-armed heroic types to recover my remains and destroy the mad killer before s/he wrecks anymore havoc. And for heaven's sake tell them to double-tap and  make darn sure the crazy is dead--I don't want my murder to spawn any half-baked misbegotten sequels.

Oh my gosh. I couldn't stop laughing! You KNOW Stephen King LOVES Colorado. Do I need to remind you of The Stand and the Free Zone?

You are my favorite. Love you and your sense of humor.
