That's intense but really good. I'm not a fan of maggots but your images are so realistic. The word fear really put everything into perspective

Abed..Abed...this so so intense...I LOVE it!!!

as you know.*cough* I will always have suggestions so, here we go...

Or maybe he was the black cat
that leaped once out of the blue (I think it should be leapt...the corrector is saying no but English dictionary says yes)
and landed with a grimace
right before me.
It made me believe to this date (date? do you mean day?)
that black cats are bad luck
and should be avoided.

Truth is, I wish I can recall

^^^

everything else is past tense so it should be 'could' I think...

Wonderful, Abed. The raw disgust in the apricot image followed by the decision to avoid: you have captured the essence of the fear experience.

Congratulations Abed on your win

Congrts abed

Such a powerful, deep look into the life of fear, the many forms and shapes it takes, and how it can grow into what we may not even recognize anymore.

Great to see you back with more poetry, Abed. Congrats on the win.

This is fascinating to say the least
