Do you have fears? I guess each and everyone has there own fears. One of my greatest fear is WORMS. Yes, I’m afraid and terrified of worms. Its weird since when i was younger i remember playing with worms. When i got older that was when i started to have this fear of worms. When it rained back home and the worms come out i get so afraid for walking in puddles, near puddles or anywhere near muddy areas.  My fear for them would manifest in another way, through cruelty to them. I would arm myself with table salt and when i find a worm i would sprinkled them in salt. Of course this kills the worm but not before they start to wiggle and try to get away from the salt. There was one incident that i was in our backyard and it was starting to get dusky. I dropped something between two flower pots and i reached out for it. I felt something slimy and slippery and i just screamed and run inside the house going straight to the sink to wash my hands. My mom heard me and saw me shaking my hands and i was still screaming and shouting. I felt like i couldn’t get the feeling of the slimy thing from my hand, I was panicking so much. My mom had to shake me and tell me to drink water coz i was so red in the face and my neck hurt. I drank something and i felt so sleepy that i sat on the table and put my head down. I don’t know if i fainted or what but i  will never forget about that day. As it turned out it was just a slug i touched but it was my imagination that made me go in that spastic mode. When i prepare myself to encounter a worm i don’t get scared but when i see or touch one that I’m totally unprepared for i got nuts and ballistic. What about you, whats your fear?
