One of this week’s DS106 assignments is to write about our biggest fear. But my tiny fears are so elaborate and vividly imagined that it seemed a waste not to focus on them.

I am astonished by how many of these I share, despite never having admitted them to anyone. Except maybe the garbage disposal thing, I mention that one a lot. >.<

I think you were with me in the bathroom, Serena, especially in Bulgaria. This is only seconded by the sink drain possibility. We need our hands! You probably don’t like to be told to write a book. but if you continue these cartoons, you might find yourself wondering where to put them all and decide to bind them.
