Do you want to know what I am afraid of? SPIDERS! One reason I am afraid of spiders is because they are hairy. Another reason is because they have eight eyes. The way their legs move really slowly is so creepy. Sometimes they jump and that’s also creepy. The last reason is their humps. They just sit there and hang around. Now that is what I am really afraid of.
Piper Adams, 4th, Miller Perry Elementary, Ms. Jeffers
My fear is snakes and spiders and the dark. I have a pathological fear of them. The reason why I’m scared of snakes is because they just slither around everywhere. It’s like they want to kill you. The reason why I’m scared of spiders is because I almost got bitten by one before and it feels weird when they crawl on you and I scream to death. And my last thing the reason why I’m scared of the darkness is because you hear strange noises and it’s very creepy and sometimes I scream because I get scared. Those things I never want to see or hear again.
Sammi Culhane, 4th, Miller Perry Elementary, Ms. Jeffers
My worst fear is death. Want to know why? Well I’m going to tell you. I don’t want to lose my friends because without my friends I would cry for hours. Also my family and relatives I would not be able to live or be dead in Heaven without them. This one is funny but I would miss my pets. Over all I would lose everything. Well now you know my worst fear, bye!
Sarah Hilton, 4th, Miller Perry Elementary, Ms. Jeffers
I am afraid of spiders and killer clowns! They are very scary especially spiders like granddaddy long legs. They are so creepy! Killer clowns are scary too. They can jump scare you from anywhere, any second! They can work together if they try! This is why I am afraid of killer clowns and spiders!
Shaelagh Durland, 4th, Miller Perry Elementary, Ms. Jeffers
The things I’m scared of are clowns, spiders, and the dark. I am so scared of the dark and I don’t know why. I am scared of the dark in my room. I have to have my Christmas lights and my TV on at the same time. So I may never not be scared of the dark, I do not know. I still don’t know why I am so scared of the dark. So that’s my the thing I am most scared of and yes at 9 years old I am still scared of the dark.
Sharlotte Penix, 4th, Miller Perry Elementary, Ms. Jeffers
I’m most afraid of getting really hurt. You might think that’s silly but when I was about 4 I got hit in the head from a ball by an older kid. Then it knocked me out. When I got home I had a really big cut on my knee and there was blood running down my leg. Another example is when I was 6 I rode my tricycle down a big hill. I started flipping over and over again. I ended up with a busted elbow and lots of other scratches on my legs and arms. Plus I bleed really easy. That is what my biggest fear is.
Timothy Bonsor, 4th, Miller Perry Elementary, Ms. Jeffers
I used to be afraid of the dark. I used to be afraid of the dark because I sometimes see ghosts and creatures that were looking at me. The creatures are gross and oddly cool. They are nice and funny too and know that they are hurt. A ghost is not mean unless it’s a meany ghost.
Titus Hobbs, 4th, Miller Perry Elementary, Ms. Jeffers
I used to be afraid of jump scares like in games like 5 Nights at Freddy’s and Goosebumps because of people, candy, or Animatronics but not anymore. And that’s what I was afraid of.
Trever Keith, 4th, Miller Perry Elementary, Ms. Jeffers
I’m really afraid of snakes, one day there was a baby garden snake in my garage. I ran for my life. Well my brother Julian took a huge fork and killed it. My stepdad Blake hates snakes so he wasn’t in the garage for that. My brother opened the garage and picked it up and threw it in our yard. From that day on I still tell my brother to not touch me!!

Have you ever seen a spider crawling up your arm? One time I was playing on my phone and there was a creepy spider on my arm! One time I got a book from the teacher’s classroom. I looked on the back and I saw a spider! Also, when I put the last book up I got another book and it had a spider on the back of it!

On a sunny day I was on my swing when a spider got up my pants. I hate spiders because one got in my hair! Spiders can be gross anywhere especially in your hair! Spiders could crawl up your pants. The right thing to do is smack it. Something else you could do is step on it. That is why I don’t like spiders.

Why did the spider go to the salon shop? Because it needed its web trimmed! Have you ever seen a giant spider in public? Because I have! Its body raised up when it moved! The spider crawled really fast! It was humongous! I hope I never see that big of a spider again.

One thing that I am afraid of is Pennywise, the dancing clown! Pennywise is a killer clown. Ever since I saw the sewer scene, I was scared! The next time I saw something about him it was proof. It was pictures of him biting off a person’s arm. Looking at them gave me the creeps! He also eats people like Georgie. First, he tickled him and bit off his arm. Second, he bit off his leg! Pennywise the Clown is a scary killer. I am afraid of Pennywise.

Bryson Hughes, 2nd, Hilton Elementary, Mrs. Edwards
I am afraid of clowns. They are really creepy. Clowns are really mean because they can turn people into other clowns. They fry you and then eat you on a bun with milk. When they’re done, they eat cookies. They freeze frogs and put them on sticks and lick them. Clowns give red balloons to kids so they can play with mean clown kids.
