An Incident When I Was Caught In A Storm

Waves of dark clouds swallowed the beautiful morning skies. Rain came pelting down on the tar roads. The pounding of the rain soon became the rhythm of the day. Beating at an unknown frequency. It was hypnotic. It seems I was stuck here. My hands shivered uncontrollably. I could feel the sensation of the icy wind on my face.

The day was not always like this. Only this morning, it was a beautiful day, birds singing everywhere, it seems that everything was about to be perfect. I guess it goes to show that nothing can be predicted perfectly. I was planning to go fishing that day. Once all my gear was packed I revved up my Gallardo and headed toward the lake. Halfway there I heard a hiss sound. I stepped to check what has happened and it seems I had a punctured tire. See what I mean, not a good day. I pushed my car to a nearby flyover to try and switch tires. I needed an extra tire and the nearest gas station was only a kilometer down the road. Then the storm began and I was stuck under that flyover.

I tried to comfort myself by getting cozy in my car. The heat from my heated engine was rather comfortable since it was cold. It has been hours now that the rain began. I am drenched in cold icy water. Now there was nothing more I can do. That is except wait and wonder when this rain will stop.

Comfession Of A Altophobic

My fear of Heights

There i was. Standing at the very edge of the forty storey building . The wind was blowing so ridiculously strong i could be pushed off . It seems that the birds passing by seem to laugh at me , tormenting me to jump off . Almost forced fully i look at the edge of the building to see the bottom . Not looking back i jumped off....


I woke up to be greeted by the suns evening rays,drenched in sweat ,cold wet sweat . Luckily it was the dream . I did not like it . I have always had a phobia of heights . i do not really know why though.I guess that it started at least 2 years ago when i went up of the same forty storey building . Apperently i was shorter then . So the building was a whole lot taller to me . To make things a whole lot worst , for me at least , i saw some sort of creature , an out of this world creature , at the roof of the building . I was alone and scared there . I could see but i wonder if others see it . I was stunned when i saw the creature smiled and jumped off . My eyes opened big . I saw the creature at the bottom but passerbys just seemed to either walk through it or just pass it . I was dumbfounded. Since then whenever i go up somthing high at least 30 storeys high , i either see the creature again or just have the feeling it will push me down . I try to avoid high areas since then .


Even though i try to avoid high areas most of the time it does not seem to work. The dream still haunts me till today . I have been trying to find a solution since then . But that is a story for another time . Until then just remember , "He finds you when You sleep, And when daylight fades."
