Spooked

We have a friend named Russell near Waco. Russell is a big guy but he gets scared easily. John and Shawn Herring kept the guy a nervous wreck from pulling pranks on him. There's more stories coming including Russell. Anyway Dad, Russell and Uncle Skip were at the deer lease again and Russell was making coffee. Dad slipped in the door, walked up behind him and said "What are you doing?" Russell jumped, started screaming and running. He ran through two doors knocking them off the hinges as he made his way to the back of the trailer. Both doors opened in the opposite direction from whence he came. He was peeking back down the hall to see what happened and Uncle Skip was in bed right behind him. Uncle Skip wanted to reach over and grab him but he was afraid Russell might tear up the rest of the trailer on the way out. We tease Russell about that to this day.
