Ever wonder how some people you
meet seem to have no fear whatsoever? You know, those people who go
skydiving every weekend, climb thousands of feet up mountains just to
snowboard down a side that's 'probably pretty safe, as long as I avoid
those trees.' People who marathon-watch the scariest movies you've ever
seen, then don't even blink before falling asleep. Well, if you envy
them, then there's a way to conquer your own fear. It's just not pretty.
Get
on any passenger bus that travels a long distance; Greyhound is usually
a good pick. Anything that's on the road for longer than 24 hours. Get a
window seat facing west, then stare at the sun, waiting until sunset.
Just before the sun touches the horizon, close your eyes. Hard. Do not
turn away, don't look at anything else. Cover your ears if you have to.
After
a while, you'll notice that the bus has stopped moving. That's the
signal that you can open your eyes. When you do, you'll see a gas
station, illuminated only by a few flickering flourescent lights. There
will be no sun, no moon, no stars in the sky. The convenience store will
have its windows boarded up, but the sign will say 'Open.'
If
you feel you can't go through with it, get back on the bus, return to
your seat, and fall asleep. You'll wake up at sunrise the next day, well
on your way to wherever the bus was going.
If you enter the
store, the door will slam shut behind you. You will spend an unknown
amount of time there, living out your worst nightmares made real. If you
survive the ordeal without going mad, you will awake back on the bus,
as it reaches its destination. Nothing will ever scare you again.
Some
say that after this ordeal, anything else simply pales in comparison.
Others say that all that room contains, is all the fear you will ever
feel in your entire life, and exposing yourself to it all at once keeps
you from feeling any more.
All I know is that if you try to
repeat this feat, the sign on the door will say 'Closed.' |
