Almost everyone fears something. It might be spiders, ants, or heights. When confronted with our fears, we attempt to run away as if being plagued by the Devil.

            Our characters have flaws: in order to seem human, they can’t be all goodie-two-shoes or all serial killer zombie. The sweet little boy might love chopping up worms and spraying ants with hair gel, while the zombie might have a fondness for guinea pigs.

            Your task is to write a story in which a character’s fears are reveled while in a frightening situation.

            You’ll need at least one other character. This might be a good friend or a cranky store clerk. The two must interact, not just once, but frequently, with each meeting becoming more and more intense. Bring out the horror element.

            Have fun with this one.
