Today I am singing a song about smelly feet.


A question, if you're comfortable answering: What scares you? I ask because writing these drabbles has really made me think about what genuinely freaks me out, what gives me a quick shiver, what makes me laugh. I ended up terrified in bed last night because of thinking about drowning slowly, pressed against the upper surface of whatever you happened to be trapped in that was below water level. That's the thing that scares me most, and it'll probably appear sooner or later; it interests me that it involves water which feels so much like home to me, to the extent that I felt homesick for the sea while still in England, which is frankly entirely too small for such feelings. XD

I think it came from reading The Beach, a passage where he swims through an underwater passage but manages to leave the well-explored route, running out of air and knowing that he's passed the point where he can return the way he came...

*shudders*

So yeah, flist. What scares you?

(Promise not to write too many drabbles about your fears. *whistles innocently*)

Torture and, for some reason, certain sounds. The first time I listened to number stations on the Conet Project I went from 0 to absolutely irrationally frightened within seconds. Music played backwards and EVPs for no reason I can figure out. I think it has to do with the distorted voices? I'm always the person who covers their ears during surprise!torture scenes in movies before they close their eyes.
