Fear

Fear is something I have a lot of. I fear jumping bugs, mainly crickets, semi-trucks, trains, walking under bridges, heights, and kittens. Crickets are ridiculously scary. Like they just come out of nowhere and jump on you whenever they feel like it. You have no say in that part of your life and it leaves you vulnerable. Semi-trucks are just too big to even be on the road. I saw the movie Joy Ride and ever since then I can’t stand those massive vehicles. Especially when Tatum drives super close to them because he knows it scares the heck out of me and thinks it’s funny but it isn’t funny at all. The movie Unstoppable made me scared of trains. There’s just this crazy train that’s on the loose and nobody can stop it so it goes through all these towns and kills people and blows stuff up. Now every time I see a train I think automatically that one of the box things is going to fly off and kill me while I’m waiting for it to get out of my way. My dad once stopped in the middle of the tracks and made me cry. That was like 2 years ago. He thought it was hilarious but obviously I didn’t. When I walk under bridges I can hear the traffic above me and it makes me think that I’m in the movie Final Destination and the bridge is going to collapse and crush me. So therefore, I don’t do it. Heights give me a heart attack. Like why do some people not get scared to look down hundreds of feet and see their death waiting to happen? My heart flutters when I look over a balcony or something like that. And last but not least, kittens. It’s weird because I’m not scared of cats, just kittens. They pounce at you and bite your feet and attack you when you least expect it. Who would want such a monster in their house?
