Sketchyshorts: Fears i think anyone has or had

Hey fellas, been a while since i did these again, it seems. But ive thought of this for a long while, and thought: What are fears we all have? Decided to try to make some examples.

First off, bieng home alone. I absolutely HATE bieng alone at home. Not long ago, my dad was at a friends party of his, and my older sister had to work till closing. Lil 14-year old me was waiting at home. And boy, was it not fun. I had headphones on, but realized i couldnt hear it when someone came in, so i put them off. Then, i started closing all the doors, if one of them would open, i would hear it. Hell, i even took a knife from the kitchen in case i needed to defend myself, even brought it to my bedroom when i went upstairs. the sheer paranoia of what can happen when you are defenseless and alone at home made me think i wasnt the only one with this fear, i think, at least.

Speaking of going upstairs, here is numero 2: Turning off the lights. I think we all had a moment that we came from the attic, or basement, or went upstairs to bed last. You would have the task then to turn the lights off before reaching upstairs. And the dread you feel when your hand goes to the switch is inhumane, as if you think someone is behind you. And as soon as the lights turn OFF, you have a feeling you arent alone anymore. You dart to your room, or exit door, or whatever gets you outta there, at speeds as if the devil is on your tail, and then, when you exit, you have a mini heart attack. Relateable, anyone?

And last but not least: Trapped. Ever went in an elevator, and see the doors dont open? I had that multiple times, and my anxienty just skyrockets. What if you are trapped? What are the people you are trapped with like? how long can you survive in a airtight space? All those questions, all that fear, and then, just, bam. Doors open, relief flows back. But man, it sucks.

i actually liked (and still do) like being home alone, it means i can blast music loudly without waking my dad up, and, well, i get to be alone

OTHING IS WORTH TH

Big things scare me. Elephants or whales things like thatbis okay. But if the things that are usually small is big I am deathly scared. Like spiders is the example that came to mind.
