The Scream of Fear; the Fear of Not Screaming
This excerpt from the sequel to POWER OF THREE speaks to the capability of all of us to give voice to our primal fears. Like many people, I always wondered if I would be able to scream if, for example, I was attacked in a parking lot and desperately needed help. I am not a screamer; I don't scream on roller coasters, in scary movies [although I am known to jump about a foot out of my chair on occasion at the sudden fright moment of a good movie], not jumping 20 feet into a lake. But when I went bungee jumping, hurtling head first with great speed toward the hard, hard earth -- yes, then without any volition on my part whatsoever, out came that bellow of fear. I was quite surprised at myself. So. I know whereof I write. What about you? Afraid you might not scream when needed? Ever surprised yourself with a good holler?
Book Excerpt
Power Multiplied
Up and down the concourse, people screamed. Those involuntary, gut-felt bellows of fear that restrained folks think they’ll never be able to belt out, even when they need to. But then the world crashes in on them and they find that terror yanks those screams right out of their mouths.
