An emotion which, irrespective of whatever previous emotion you were feeling, instantaneously makes you feel like you are going to die, fills your entire body with adrenaline and sends your heart rate off the scale.
Fear was a very useful evolutionary advance for millions of years, keeping mankind one step ahead of predators and snakes and
shit but unfortunately it still occurs in trivial situations, such as:
- when you lean back on your
chair to the point it feels like it might suddenly tip over
- when you are eating food in the street and you almost drop a bit on the
floor- when you have been smoking
weed with your bong buddies for a few hours and a group of very tall, charismatic people you
haven'
t met before suddenly show up
- when your girlfriend almost discovers the stash of tranny
porn you acquired years ago but completely forgot about...until right now
