When I learned what a "spoiler" was.

It was near time for the release of the highly anticipated squel to STAR WARS; The Empire Strikes Back. So anticipated that I could not wait to buy the oversized comic the moment it came out. In the book store my mother warned me not to spoil it for myself, and I swore I wouldn't, maybe just read the first few pages. But once I started I couldn't wait to see what happened next and read the whole thing on the way home from the mall. I recall the chills and tiny gasp that escaped me when I read that fateful panel, fuck. My mother knew I had fucked myself and threatened physical harm were I to reveal this monumental plot twist until after the family had seen the movie. Horrified that I had blown my chance to be surprised by the epic reveal in the film. I had also not anticipated the torture of being unable to discuss it with anyone until the film opened. Longest fucking week ever. The whole family FINALLY went on opening day and it was sweet relief once those four critical words rasped out of Vader's mask. I watched their shocked faces, heard their audible gasps and finally I could talk my head off about one of the most infamous motion picture plot twists. Fuck spoilers.
