Creeping Shadows of the Mind

Write a tale about an average character with an irrational fear and follows the character as they confront it head on.

This prompt expects the writer to delve into the depth of human psychology, exploring aspects of anxiety and irrational fears. Writers can explore, what makes an ordinary situation extraordinarily haunting for the character? How they deal with this fear daily? What’s their journey to face it? This would test a writer’s understanding of psychological elements in horror fiction.
