Fear

I have always loved fear. And now I know it loves me back.

My whole life has been defined by fear. It's what's driven everything I've ever done. It's why I'm a firefighter. It's why I sneak into abandoned buildings. It's why I drive a motorcycle way too fast.

Some people might call me reckless, but when I find myself on the edge of disaster, heart pumping, filled with terror, that's the only time I feel like I'm alive.

What's the old saying? There is nothing to fear but Fear itself.

And one night...Fear proved to me how true that is.
