Mouthful of Fear

Write about a protagonist who tastes their fears instead of simply experiencing them.

Fear can often be considered one of the hardest emotions to evoke, especially in situations where most people just experience it mentally and physically. Now, imagine a character who tastes their fear, pushing sensory description to eerie new heights. Explore the correlation between different fears and specific tastes, the new layers it adds to their fears, the difficulties they face in overcoming their fear, and how this unusual sense impacts their daily life. The purpose of this prompt is to provoke a creative exploration of how powerful imagery can intensify emotion.
