Phobia
An Exclusive Open Challenge using the Basic Editing III rules.
Description
Photograph something in such a way that it conveys a personal phobia or fear to the viewer. Try to make the viewer feel the emotion of the fear. No bugs (including spiders), as that is just too easy! Your title or description should include your phobia.
