You did a great job explaining your greatest fear. It was easy to follow your reasoning. Your words were filled with good imagery and smooth flow. Perhaps your description needs to read . . . afraid of (not in).
Thanks for sharing and best wishes.
Respectfully, Jan

"In an attempt to take control of this fear, I began writing horror stories. I try to channel that fear of death into something useful." Wow! You are right. That is rather ironic.

I enjoyed the read.

Best of luck in the Your Greatest Fear writing contest.

This story about fear, My Greatest Fear, touches on the one we all probably have-- the unknown of death. Having sensed and thought all our lives it is impossible to imagine nothingness.

It sounds like you had a serious problem that perhaps you've overcame. The Lord is the only one that can give one peace and an assurance that their is something after this life. He gives you a living hope. This is good work and I enjoyed reading this well written work. Well done!

Dear Mystery Writer,

Fear of dying is horrible. I've had to deal with this during some of my worst bouts with depression - and it's something that's hard to describe to people. I get it.

I saw a couple of nits here and made some notes for you:
1.) I am afraid of nothingness. I use(d) to cry alone in my room,

2.) it power over me and prevents me from living (while) I am still alive.

3.) to think that my fear of death is what (led) me to the path in life

Thanks for sharing. Good luck!

This was a very honest piece of writing. I personally don't fear death, but the one thing I do fear above all else is time. It really scares me how quickly it moves and there's nothing we can do about it. A well written, engaging piece. Good luck in the contest.
