Lap Monsters

I was going around the corner when something dropped from the top of the car onto my lap. My first thought was tarantula. My second thought was rat. I couldn't look down until the turn was complete. My heart was racing. So, what scared me so badly? The garage door opener.

Later, at work, I glanced down and saw some creature with beady eyes sitting on my lap. I jumped, but managed not to shriek. What was it this time that scared me? That's it in the photo, a key ring.

It's not easy going through life being afraid of everything.
