Back to our normal 500-word or so length this week. The idea is to write a story about someone who has an irrational fear of some inanimate object. Beyond that, there are no rules. Good luck.

The task this week is to have another look at the 2,000 word story on the theme of ‘Happy Endings’. We con’t normally do the same task two weeks running but this is so that last week’s absentees can catch up.
