I remarked to Jay as we took a walk today that I was afraid of taut telephone pole wires snapping and cutting me in half.
“You know what you need to do? You need to start a blog called Dot’s Irrational Fears and list all these fears that are in that little head of yours,” he said. “Start with the fence one.”
The Fence One.
I have an irrational fear that chain link fences can break from the tension, recoil, and stab me in the eye.
“It’s not your irrational fears that will kill you, it’s the ones you don’t know about,” The Wiseman Jay sayeth.
“Fine, so what’s your irrational fear?” I asked.
“I don’t like to place my toothbrush on the countertop unless it’s protected in some way.”
hehehe.
i worry when people fling papers in my face. I keep on having a slow-mo mental visions of the paper papercutting my eyeballs into half and i loose sight while bleeding profusely.
Since it has been raining heavily in Melbourne, i have begin to worry about this one taut telephone pole wire like u, a block from my street. Its been sparking and making weird noise. I imagined countless times, it break loose and electrifying me while i walk innocently from work .
I know EXACTLY what you mean!
