Case 37: Fear

One can be afraid of a lot of things. One can be afraid of being seen, other times, of being unseen.
One quietly listens to every step, identifying from whom they came. One secretly observes the slight turns, and at each attempt one stands up, peeks, and goes out for water. There was nobody.
Or one makes one's footsteps as heavy and distinguishable as possible, not even worried of being too obvious. One tries and turns and at each failed attempt, one peeks and walks on to pee. There was nobody.
We can be afraid of a lot of things. We can be afraid of seeing, sometimes of not seeing.
