10 Minute Writing Prompt:

Keep your hands moving the entire time, write as many details about each image that comes into your head.

You are in therapy. You are sitting on a therapist’s couch. And she turns to ask you, in the calmest voice you have ever heard. “What exactly are you afraid of?” She says.

What comes to mind, four fears, four things that terrify you, what are they. Write as many details about each image that comes into your head. I’ll do this as well.
