Greatest Fear

I tremble at the thought of drowning, I worry about wars, I find it horrifying to be burnt alive. I scream and jump from rodents, insects and, reptiles. Yet, none of these are my greatest fear and, seem trivial in compare. The thing I fear above all fears, is not even in or of this world. I don't believe I'll ever have to face this fear but, somewhere, in the very back recesses of my mind, is the faintest of whispers, almost inaudible, uttering, "What If"? Thus maliciously keeping my fear alive. Or, is this whisper keeping my fear from being realized? Should I then embrace this fear to remember what must and must not be done? Is it possible that fear itself could keep me from that which I fear the most? Thus avoiding ever facing Hell itself.
