Need creative headings

It's very difficult to outrun a donkey. I dunno....their legs are so much longer and they seem to have this maniacal craving for terrifying humans. Yesterday I was trying to make the journey from one of the outlying gardens into the house, and ours was standing right near me, so I threw him some corn husks and tried to creep towards a side door. When I was about halfway there he realised that he wouldn't be getting any more husks if I wasn't outside, so he comes cantering up the lawn towards me. Meanwhile, I'm running to the door, carrying a tower of harvested vegetables (actually he was probably after those), praying that it's not going to be locked. It isn't, so that's nice. WHEW. Ah well. Maybe a bit of primal fear is necessary in our lives. We've kind of lost that. We either get way too much in massive doses, like going into combat or being in accidents, or we get it through horror movies and television. A middle ground needs to be achieved. I think that's why humans invented bungee jumping and whatnot. We need an element of surprise and panic in our lives.
