I'm afraid of the water.
What I'll say here has probably been said tons of time before and people will keep doing it. So, nothing original. But I am afraid of the water. I'm afraid of the unknown, of what I cannot see. I'm afraid of feeling things touching my leg, passing through me. Is it a fish, a water plant, some trash? Is it a monster? How can we go in something murky? Rivers are the worst. What if there's a snake? Am I supposed to just go in and enjoy my time while some creature may be plotting my downfall? What if the course of the water suddenly changes and I drown?
How can rivers be so close to life itself?
