As I wrote in another review, the free from kindle Joshua Scribner short stories are a great buy because his supernatural tales are unusual, surprising, and interesting.In this story, Beth, an attractive young woman, has an unusual problem: she fears children. Her fear is affecting her marriage because her husband wants children. She goes to a hypnotist to help her discover the source of her fear and remove it. He places her in a hypnotic state and has her remember what happened to her at age 7. Those readers who know Scribner's books will not expect psychoanalysis such as Freud would give and they will be right. What is it that scares Beth so strongly? Can the hypnotist free her of her fear? How does he do it? Will he reveal to Beth what made her fearful, or keep it from her?
