The One Thing

I fear.

                                          Many things scare me.

Embarrassment

Insects

The future

Pain

Death

Darkness

The unknown

                                         But there is one thing that terrifies me.

       

            Sometimes when I'm alone or everything's silent, strange things happen to me. I'll notice footsteps in another room when no one could make them. I'll hear voices and hushed tones behind my back when no one's behind me. I'll see, for a brief moment out of the corner of my eye, someone I don't recognize.

And I don't know which I should be more afraid of...

That it's all in my head, or that i'ts not.
