Seven phobias, one girl. Claustrophobia, Arachnophobia, Aquaphobia, Coulrophobia, Haptephobia, Pupaphobia, and Tomaphobia.
Seventeen year old Jessica was fearless. She could do anything without getting scared, or even nervous. She enjoyed everything she had in life, friends, smarts, parent-like neighbors. But at times, it seemed she took it all for granted.
When she gets a mysterious text message from an unknown number, she decides to ignore it, which could be the worst decision of her life.
What will happen when she gets kidnapped by a mad scientist who uses her for her fearlessness, and truly shows her what fear feels like?
"My darling, everyone's afraid of something."
"I would prefer not to hurt you, but I will if I need to." They said. I felt cold metal on my neck moving lightly against my skin. My emotions were a wreck, I felt anger, fear, and adrenaline all within me at once. But I knew I was not going to die today. Let them think I want this, I'll play into their delusions, and work towards the best plan of escape. Someone had to know I was missing, so now I would just have to start the long game.
