Option 2: Describe an example of when fear affected your sensory perception. Describe how it was affected.
One time I was out for the whole day and came home past my curfew and I had so much fun that i did not realize that my dad would be angry at me for not telling him where i was and not coming home before dark until my sister reminded me of it. I thought i was gonna be in big doodoo and she suggested that i hide under the bed. Fear of the Wrath of Dad took hold of me and i quickly slid under the bed without thinking. I hid under there for what felt like eternity. All i could feel was my shallow breathing, afraid somebody could hear me and tell, the perspiration coming out of my forehead and palms and the dank smell of the air and dust under the bed. After a while, my sister came and told asked me if i wanted to get out from under there. I wasn’t relieved for a moment, but it was torturing me when dad will come down the hallway and yell and rant in my ear. I just wanted to get it over and done with, so i got out and went about the house like nothing happened. I was shifty that night and the next day afraid he might still take the chance to yell at me. I was nervous and anxious and the only thing i could think about was my pending doom. The day after next i relaxed a little bit hoping that he didn’t find out and never will, but i still was on the balls of my feet ready to jump. I wasn’t aware or didn’t remember what i did in those days, i only remembered wandering around the house looking behind my back and feeling the chills crawl down my back. Later that day, my sister came and told me that she told dad about it when i came home late a day ago. I was confused. if she told dad a day ago, why didn’t he mention anything to me or at the least yelled at me about coming home late, i was only 9. I never found out why dad didn’t mention it to me and sometimes when i think about that i still am a little bit scared that he will march to me any second and rant.
