Day after day I walked past in the darkness, the dog sounded the alarm. Then one morning I walked past that house and there was no barking. Now I was afraid all over again. It looked like a black cat with two white stripes down its back and a big fluffy tail raised up. My fear enabled me to run a little bit faster up that hill.
Fear is a funny thing.
It is often irrational, yet it can take over your life in an instant. Your heart races, you break out in a cold sweat, your mouth goes dry. Fear seizes control of your entire being. Fear can be a terrible thing, even crippling for some people. I checked the Internet and found a phobia page.
