Being_Afraid

Being Afraid Have you ever been afraid' Does a thunder and lightning storm make your heart beat fast' Maybe your mouth goes dry when your teacher announces a pop quiz, or your palms sweat when it\'s your turn to give your book report in front of the class. Perhaps you get butterflies in your tummy when you see that cute someone. I am afraid of being alone in a large, dark house with multiple levels because you will never know who is around the corner. You will never know who is hiding in a closet and you will never know who is on the opposite side of the house. And you may never know. My whole life I have been surrounded with numerous family members constantly in and out of the house. There was always so much going on that I never really had the time to be afraid of my own house. After much thought, when I was 11 years old, my parents decided that we needed a bigger house. They put forth the effort to build a gigantic house that is now too big for the amount of people that live there.
