WRITING OBSTACLE
Submitted by J.L.
From the perspective of a phobia or disease, create a narrative about how you are impacting someone’s life.
Think about how you can personify this particular disease or phobia, or its motives and behaviours.
Arithmophobia
Why are you scared of me?
I’m almost everywhere
I show you the speed limit
Count the months
Reveal your age
And your scared of me?
Your height
Your shoe size
Your phone percentage
Your GPA
Your math homework
Your test scores
Your money
You see me almost everywhere
Yet you still fear me
I’m just arithmophobia
Why are you scared of numbers?
