i had this fear when i was a kid, which i think has carried on to well.. present day: i think twice before walking over things like planks, covers of drains, etc..
i suppose there is a fear of the "cover" giving way and falling through. it has never happened yet & hopefully it never will!
I was going to do a deeper reading on your post.
ReplyDeleteBut I decided it's really a simple case of fall-phobia.
Or is it? ;)
@EW: more like fat-phobia. ha!
ReplyDeleteI used to have a fear of having my feet out of the confines of the bed when I was younger. I always thought something might grab them or slice through a major vein (I believe found behind the ankle)... even up to now actually!
