once, when i was younger, my grandparents got into a motorcycle accident. when the phone rang, i didnt think anything of it. after that day, and for a few years afterwards, i thought if i didn't think "please don't let it be something bad" between the first and second rings of the phone, then either I or someone I knew was gonna die on the spot. this belief was especially frightening when i forgot to say it and i found my mother sleeping. i thought she was dead.
