Week 27; Childhood Fears

I only had two fears as a child.
1. That when I went on vacation (which we did often in my childhood) that I would return to a murdered body underneath my bed. I feared that all who investigated the murder case would think that it was me who killed the victim. I really feared doing hard jail time, honestly. In my opinion everyone should fear hard jail time, with all the rapes and violence.

2. That a tick would sneak into the back of my mouth, attach to the back of my throat, feast on my blood, become large, and suffocate me. That is a truly frightening thought still, I think.
