Embarrassed myself.
I was told to describe my worst fear as part of a "get to know everyone" game where you guess which fear goes with which person. My description led seventeen out of twenty nine people to point their fingers directly at me all at once.
I'm afraid that my overly creepy and extremely descriptive essay, instead of about four words, did me in. I lost the contest.
I think everyone else cheated, because I was the only one who described anything.
I certainly could have done more than the guy who was afraid of drowning or the girl who was afraid of her car. I have some knowledge of fear. I could have won if the game (yeah, I changed it from "test") was fair.
