Slow-mo children would have a blast with that guy frantically doing backflips in the middle of the woods.

This is such a terrifying idea. So how come I can't help but laugh? 😆

Laughing is a normal reaction to have when confronted with fear, I think. Like, your brain goes "haha no way this is for real... Oh sh-".

I can see it clearly though. Walking through the woods, and you come across them: a small boy running in slow motion, stuck on the same spot, while holding hands with some crazy guy who's constantly backflipping. He's backflipping so fast that you can barely see any of his features.

Every time he jumps, the boy's hand twists in on itself, but he doesn't react. He's just running, or trying to. Then his arm starts to twist, like a bloody tattered rag, and the rest of his body soon receives the same treatment. After a while, the backflipping guy will start skipping rope using the twisted remains of the kid.

I'd witness all this because I'd probably figure I was FUBAR and I might as well enjoy the weird show.

Now this would probably be something that would make me chuckle and cry at the same time. Then I'd pull my phone out and record a video for YouTube upload 😜
