Summary "You can't scare me!" by Charles F. Myers is a humorous and fantastical short story written during the mid-20th century, likely in the post-World War II era. The narrative revolves around Marc Pillsworth, an advertising executive who finds himself in bizarre and comedic escapades involving his subconscious and a character named Toffee. The story explores themes of jealousy, adventure, and the absurdities of life through the lens of exaggerated characters and situations. The plot begins with Marc Pillsworth dealing with his jealous wife, Julie, and his obnoxious secretary, Miss Quirtt. After a dramatic encounter involving a car, a scream, and a mysterious hole, Marc is transported into his subconscious realm where he meets Toffee, a whimsical character who complicates his life as much as she aids him. Their escapades lead to a series of comedic misunderstandings, including Marc's struggle to recover a stolen briefcase, confront jealousies, and navigate a bizarre world filled with colorful characters. Ultimately, the story culminates in Marc realizing that the fantastical elements of his life, represented by Toffee, are intertwined with the challenges of his reality, leaving him to reflect on the nature of his relationships and escapades.
