Shadow - A SHADOW is a region of darkness where light is blocked. A shadow occupies all the space behind an opaque object with light in front of it. The cross section of a shadow is a two-dimensional silhouette, or reverse projection of the object blocking the light.
when I was a child think 3 or 4 my greatest fear was to see my own shadow. crazy as it may sounds but this is really my biggest fear. during that time there were frequent brown outs in our area and once the electricity was shut I would shout and freak out running around 'cus I would start seeing my own shadow everywhere and my 4 other siblings would laugh at the maximum level and me very pitiful screaming. But it's all fun to remember those early years of my life.

One of my greatest fears as a child were thunderstorms. I always remember when I'd be watching TV and a tornado or severe thunderstorm bulliten would pop up, and I would always get so scared and just hang onto my parents all night long. What's funny about this fear is now I love to go storm chasing and I love weather and storms. It's funny how things can change as you grow up.

when I was little, my only real fear was being somewhere with my mother and getting lost..like in a big store or something..I always felt like I would never see her again..
