Surrounded by friends and family
Two lovers shared their first dance
In a lovely open garden
But she felt like she was in the sky
Falling with no end in sight
All she wanted to do was fly away
And be free
In the tiny studio apartment where she had lived
Before he came into her life
Sure the building was crawling with insects
And the elevator rarely worked
And her neighbours pet snake often visited without invitation
But she was happy
Watching everyone take their dogs for a walk
Fetching the mail every day
Sipping tea at the window each morning
Watching the rain in summer
As it turned into a raging storm
Now she just felt numb
But also like a million needles were pricking her skin
Still, she could not leave
All she could do was keep dancing
And smile for the cameras
About “Nightmare On Whine Street”:
Since it’s the scariest month of the year, I wanted to write another scary tale. Except this one has a hidden, spooky agenda. So I did a bit of research (I Googled and read the first thing that came up, according to a lot of people that’s research these days) and found what people are most afraid of. Or rather, the most common phobias. From this list, I created “Nightmare On Whine Street” in which I added each of these 10 most common phobias. The name is obviously a play on “Nightmare On Elm Street” one of my favourite Halloween movies of all time. Here are the ten most common phobias:
- Social phobias
- Agoraphobia: fear of open spaces
- Acrophobia: fear of heights
- Pteromerhanophobia: fear of flying
- Claustrophobia: fear of enclosed spaces
- Entomophobia: fear of insects
- Ophidiophobia: fear of snakes
- Cynophobia: fear of dogs
- Astraphobia: fear of storms
-
Trypanophobia: fear of needles
