Don't fear what they are DB; fear their barely restrained latent potential for destruction.

Hate them. Fear them. Lock them up so they can't sucker the young into their wicked plans.

Me? Used to fear the dark. An instinctive thing I suppose.
"Can't see = vulnerable = danger" in the primitive monkey part of the brain.

I'm not too keen on heights now. Not so much fear of them, it's just that the seductive little voice that says "Jump. You know you'll float down" is really difficult to ignore sometimes. Again, irrational and probably inherited from the monkey part of the brain.

The one thing that freaks me out though: images of damage to the eyes. The thought of blindness hits something deep down and visceral in me. I cannot watch horrors with eye gore in them; the fight/flight reflex just kicks in too hard.

That's Eggy.
