Fear © 2010 Dan Johnson Our local writing group was challenged by my co-leader to write something within four minutes on the word “Fear.” It is sometimes surprising what one can come up with under a little pressure. Foul smells fill the air E xploding bombs fall with little care. A ngry words spit violent thoughts of despair. R esulting in calamities, totally unfair.

Hey this is like the original four minute mile! I see no pressure here, just fine results. And yes an unrealistic can sometimes produce pleasant suprises. Patrick
