X) Are we assuming everyone in the world has had a traumatizing accident somehow involving paperclips? Or, are you having issues finding a way to link it to death? begins to smirk I almost sense you’ve been backed into a corner on this one…

hee, I did indeed give you a dark room, and I think I backed you into the corner on this one… how could a paperclip, on its own accord, make a person vulnerable?

no, it couldn’t. but I never said that it could of it’s own accord. then again, fear is not rational. even if it’s not possible for a paperclip to hurt you doesn’t mean you can’t fear it happening. and no I am not in a corner, I am in a huge mansion of a room with too many different answers to put in one 1024 character ficlet. I thought you understood that.

This sounds like the kind of thing Poozzab would try to convince me of.
“Oh yes, fear of paper clips is absolutely fear of death.”
I will have to have him check this out. And I’ve got to side with g2 on this one. Even if it is a really strange fear to try and link to death.

If you are still not convinced then read my sequel, which should explain my train of thought. Believe me, I wish i could elaborate more than I have but it isn’t possible, at least not in one ficlet. I may write a book someday, but I wonder how many people would read a book consisting of the many ways fear of paper clips can lead to the fear of death.
