Fears from then to now

By Courtney Ferris
Chelsea Public School, Grade 11

Everyone has a fear from when they were younger, whether it is the monster coming out from the closet or from under the bed. Or maybe you were afraid of the dark. Well for me it was all the above. I was terrified that something was going to come out of my closet, so I left the door open, thinking that whatever was in there couldn't hide if the door was open. So the fear passed but my door has never closed. I got so used to it being open that it stays open. Because I was also afraid something was going to come out from under my bed I put so much stuff under it that nothing could come out if it tried. And to this day I'm still trying to clean the stuff out from under my bed. As for the dark, well it passed but my nerves still get me sometimes.

I agree. I'll admit that I
