Fear  is fire engine red  It smells like a forest fire burning out of control.  It tastes like a rotten peach you’ve just bitten into.  It sounds like car horns blaring in the middle of a traffic jam  It feels like being alone at night, scared of the dark, lying in bed alone.  It looks like Freddy Kruger chasing you down a dark street.  Fear is like falling into a deep, black, hole.
