There are two kinds of fears, rational and irrational. Being afraid of realtors is an irrational fear.
— Lemony Snicket, A Series of Unfortunate Events
HOW TO PLAY:
Comment with your character. In the body of your top-level, your character is forced to admit their biggest, darkest fear. Maybe they assumed no one was listening, or perhaps this is the work of a magical truth serum. Either way, it's out in the open now.
Other characters can offer comfort, judgement, or probing psychological questions to delve into the root of this.
An especially evil character might look for ways to exploit this newfound information... but you wouldn't do that, would you?
Anything involving images, especially spooky images, should be linked and tagged.

But honesty comes easier from a dying man. His tone is softer this time: ] I don't like to think of you afraid.
[Ah, youth. To be so certain of everything. Yet she knows he isn’t one to be distracted, that he will walk that straight line toward the God’s Eye knowing what he knows. It makes her smile.]
