What do you fear?

-----------------------------------------------------------...
What stories, movies, things that go bump in the night, make you cringe? What animal or creepy crawly reduce you to a jiggling mass of humanity?

Fear can be a very useful emotion.

And it darn sure gets the blood pumping.

So what are your fears? I hate spiders and bats. I mean, really. The bats in particular. I know they can't hurt me. I know this intellectually. But have one fly near and I become a ducking, crawling and blathering fool. I even know that darn bat is probably scared guano-less of me.

Scary movies never seem to frighten me. Some startle - like the gal that got hit by that bus in one of the Final Destination movies but really, I'm not scared.

I think I'm more afraid of the real life monsters.

The movie monsters and book monsters and villains don't scare me. Parts of real life scare me. Sometimes a whole lot.

What say you?

I've heard this quote a number of times "
“Each time we face our fear, we gain strength, courage, and confidence in the doing.” "

I'm terribly sorry.

Each time I face my fear, my voice gets a little more high-pitched and I'm sure my tether to this side of the dirt is worn away just a scoche.

Rotten bats, anyway.
