单集文稿 ...

  • Fall has arrived, sort of.

  • I brought my recorder on a walk Monday evening, hoping to get you the sound of footsteps crunching leaves.

  • But the city hit 80 degrees this week, so you'll instead hear the occasional air conditioner.

  • It was pleasant out, though, and you could see through the windows that the Seahawks Giants game was on more than a few TVs.

  • One house was watching an episode of the show Suits.

  • I won't be trick or treating, but if I were a kid, I would skip that one because they will probably be giving out something boring or weird.

  • There are some early Halloween decorations, and if you can't tell, I'm pointing the microphone directly at them as I go by.

  • And I am going by.

  • I know what I said suggests I could be just standing and staring in windows.

  • I would never do that.

  • I was surprised, though, especially after I called my friend Anna Fabrega, who made the show Los Espookies, to talk about scary stuff.

  • And she told me that more than anything else, intruders were what she was afraid of.

  • I was scared of people breaking in.

  • Like, from a really young age, I was always afraid of, like, intruders of some type.

  • And I remember being, like, in middle school at night, like, you know, we had windows in the house, and when it would get dark and I couldn't see out anymore, like beyond, just whatever was illuminated by the house lights, I would get scared.

  • And I would.

  • Like, sometimes if I was by myself or if there was somebody home, but they were in a different part of the house, I would stand in the kitchen and I would grab a knife and I would just stand there, just like, ready for someone to break in.

  • But, yeah, I was more afraid of, like, a person than a spirit.

  • That's so funny, the image of you standing in the kitchen with a knife.

  • Do you think as a child you had it in you to kill an intruder?
