Phobia Gallery

1) Ornithophobia

I was once an ornithology graduate student.

---

2) Ablutophobia

I decided to leave grad school,

to get out into the "real" world.

I was driving,

somewhat lost,

late at night,

on a highway God knows where.

I stopped at a motel,

to rest and freshen up,

to get my bearings.

The physical wounds turned out to be superficial but not the deep emotional wounds which embedded ablutophobia in my psyche. I tried to desensitive myself to this fear by writing a screenplay called Psyche. My agent said that it would have sold if I had only changed one letter. Didn't listen, so my agent changed the title to Psycho, plagiarized it, and stopped returning my phone calls, although he did send me a very nice Christmas card.
