Eric’s Journey of Enlightenment: Fear

Evening fell, but neither stars nor moon could be seen for a thick blanket of clouds loomed overhead.

KA-KARACKADOOM!

Light split the veil of darkness for a moment revealing the silhouette of a man standing before me.

“What is your greatest fear?” he asked.

Rain poured from the heavens as if all the waters of the earth had been gathered directly over top of us, and emptied all at once.

“Speak, traveler,” the man demanded over the roar of the falling rain.

“I fear,” I paused a moment, “I fear you,” I said.

The man smiled and the storm passed over.
