Didn’t have any idea what we were talking about when we’d ask about what he was dreaming about. Said he never had dreams, didn’t ever remember having a dream in his life, or a traumatic experience where some woman was coming to get him.
My mom told me that he had to respond to a call where a woman had driven onto a lake with thin ice, her two young kids in the backseat. Dad had to retrieve all three from the vehicle. I’m not clear on the details, but it became apparent that this was a murder-suicide. I guess I expected the film to be corny with lame PG-13 kills and a cast that had no idea what they were doing. However, the film managed to make me a fan during the Harold segment.

The water below transformed into a suction. I sank feet-first below the surface, watching helplessly as my legs disappeared into the leviathan pirarucu’s gaping mouth.
