Journal #5

       And then Danny started to think of Fear. Fear, the mysterious being with a strong grip that lived in the shadows of every corner. The majestic one who hides in everyones minds. What need does Fear have to show itself? He waits in the absent recesses of the darkest places. Waiting silently and motionless with his hands ready to grasp his next victim. He had been standing there waiting for anyone he can scare. Danny was expecting to find the darkness left behind anytime now. He was uneasy and uncertain about the future. Poor James! We should have never cheated on that test. He ask Laura what was going on when she came out of the office, but she just shrugged and shook her head as she passed by. Those girls were all right with good reasons for goin to the priciples office, but they didn't know a thing about the matters of goin to the principles office for da bad things. He would be allright as soon as the chastising was over. His parents wouldn't be called at all. That was what he thought anyways. But Laura told him different, and he knew the truth. Even if he didn't he would soon find out when his parents pulled him aside and lectured him about the outcomes of being a bad child. He could already see them and their disapproving faces. Just waiting motionless and silent. Thinking about the mysterious being who brought apprehension to everyone it grasped.
