bitten by a snake
falling through the cracks in a staircase
falling out of an airplane
sucked up by a tornado
falling off the side of a mountain road or cliff that has no guardrails.

People who inflict pain for no other reason than the fact that they want to.

yes. that was where my fear was born.


i am also seriously afraid of dying in a plane crash. turbulence makes me queasy. my brain goes into all sorts of unhappy places involving the plane and the ground colliding. but i studied forensic anthropology for a while and learned all about how the force of the plane crash pretty much tears your body apart limb from limb and most of the pieces they recover from plane crashes are not that big. ids are made using dental records.

Being killed by a wild animal (usually lion or tiger), I have a recurring nightmare about them somehow getting loose from the zoo and going on a rampage in my neighbourhood.

Being buried alive.

Teeth getting knocked/pulled out. Again, I have a lot of nightmares about my teeth falling out.
