The lights come up and we are standing at the railing of the pit. There are guns being held by masked men pointing directly at us.

"Climb over" one of them says. We all climb over and then we look to Uriah.

"What's this fear?" I ask him.

"Falling....into...the...the...chasm..." He stutters panicking.

"So we need to jump in?" Zeke asks? Uriah nods slowly. His hands and knees shaking.

"Here, take my hand." I say offering it to him and then offer the other to Tobias. Zeke holds Uriah's other hand.

"On 3," I say. I begin to count down and when I say 3 I bend my knees and jump into the chasm, pulling Tobias and Uriah with me.

We keep falling an falling into the darkness and land on a bouncy yet sticky substance.

"Not this one!" Uriah squeals. I can't move as I appear to be stuck in a white cob web like substance.

"Guys I can't move!" I scream.

"Yeah me neither!" Tobias shouts from a bit to my right.

"Uriah what is this fear? Being trapped? Being paralysed? What?" I ask.

"It's... Sp...sp...spspspspsp... Spiders" he stutters shaking. At that moment I see two pairs of huge eyes scurrying towards us. We all begin to scream at Uriah to do something. We then embrace a gun shot and the spider falls to the ground, disappears and I slide onto the ground as the cobwebs disappear.

Then out of the darkness a well known fixique and body walks towards us. It's Tobias. I look back and he holds a puzzled look in his eye.

"Your afraid of me?" He laugh. Uriah nods and gulps.

Simulation Tobias grabs Uriah's neck and starts to beat him up. Uriah tries to fight back but Tobias is strong. The fight goes on for a while but then Simulation Tobias slips and falls onto his back. Uriah pounces and starts punching him in the face and then simulation Tobias disappears.

"Sorry about that" Uriah apologises to Tobias.

"No problem," Tobias says awkwardly.

Embaresemt - being laughed at for a long period of time without crying or fighting back.
