I don't like reading about my fears. It scares me. :)<BR/><BR/>Actually, I briefly mentioned a few of these fears in my book. I did so because sometimes would-be killers attempt to use a person's phobias as a means of murder, such as tossing a live snake on a person who's afraid of them. By doing so, the killer hopes to generate a fatal heart attack. It rarely ever works, but they try. Normally, the worst that happens is the victim wets their pants or passes out, or both.<BR/><BR/>Hey Joyce, we used to have an officer who was deathly afraid to cross the street. In fact, to avoid crossing, she'd drive around the block over and over again just to find a parking spot on the side where she needed to be. <BR/><BR/>Thank goodness that during an emergency should could turn on her blue lights and park wherever she wanted to. <BR/><BR/>Image the panic attack she suffered the first time she had to direct traffic from the middle of an intersection.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33226151.post-22374886396184809642007-07-24T10:00:00.000-04:002007-07-24T10:00:00.000-04:00Annette, my protagonist has a fear of commitment, ...Annette, my protagonist has a fear of commitment, but that's probably not a phobia.

I remember when I was a kid, I'd always open my car window anytime we crossed the West End Bridge, so I wouldn't get trapped in the car if the bridge fell into the river. I never thought much about the fact that if the car fell that far, I'd probably be dead and it wouldn't matter. Fortunately, I seem to have outgrown that phobia.<BR/><BR/>Like you Annette, I don't like the water much. I don't know why, though, but I'm sure it ties into the bridge phobia. I have a fear of drowning. Just the thought of it makes it hard to breathe.Joyce Tremelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00498392016497131719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33226151.post-45285351753289358702007-07-24T09:22:00.000-04:002007-07-24T09:22:00.000-04:00I thought I was afraid of a lot of things, but loo...I thought I was afraid of a lot of things, but looking at that list makes me feel really brave.
