I was full of fear, cold and tremor. The footsteps got closer and closer and the suddenly...
I saw an old, wrinkled foot, I then started to sweat hoping the person wouldn't see me.
The person then said 
"Billy, where are you?"

"Billy don't you think you're too old for this, you wet yourself"
"Grandma, I'm just 18"
