Piperphobia

Pied Piper Scarecrows by flickr user Photographic Poetry

Lori: If you ever met a pied piper, would you follow him?

Brett: I don't think I'd have a choice.  Even if he led me barefoot across broken glass, I'd just have to say "ow" and keep following.

Lori: I feel like you should have a vote on whether or not you follow.

Brett: Pied pipers are more like dictators.  They lead you where they want to go, regardless of what you want.  Some of them will even lead you into a maze from which you'll never escape.

Lori: Psh.  Jerks.  I understand why some people fear them.
