OK, so it’s kind of easy to guess, right? But it was still a lot of fun to write. :D

wow…I like this. not like, an object, but a dead-on description of a feeling…I wonder why she’s afraid.

I think I might know what it is, but I don’t want to ruin the guessing for other readers. So, I’ll just say I love the friend’s encouraging grimace. And very well described.

I wouldn’t call it easy. I mean, it rocks, and I feel for the poor protagonist. But I’m not sure what it is. I have a guess, but I wouldn’t put money on it. I’ll let others make their own guesses.

Ha ha, well if anybody has a guess, don’t post it in a comment, drop me a note instead. Let’s keep it mysterious.

i totally think i have what it is. but who knows – it could be something totally different.
nice entry, good descriptions without completely giving it away=]

I’ve not experienced this particular brand of fear (yet), but you did do such a great job of describing it, that I felt myself tugging at my own collar…

Oooooohhhhh I know what it is. I think. Excellent job! Very creative entry to the challenge! It made me all gulpy and nervous which was the goal I expect :)
