I'll tell you how I developed one. My sister and I were going to bed, and I yelled at her for throwing water on me. I *thought* that was what it was. A very humongous roach had gotten into the house (mind you, this is the South, and it only takes one) jumped onto me and I shrieked loud enough to wake the dead. I threw off my shirt, and the thing was *in* it. That was years ago, but I am still absolutely HORRIFIED by them.

This from a woman that can face just about anything, but a cockroach sends me into a panic. LOL.

I didn't expect folks that I knew to respond to my horror filled comments of it, but yeah, this was a good "writer's block" subject.

Oh, I think I'll write a Cara and Kahlan about it :D.

What a horrifying story. I'm sure there are people who would laugh at us thinking of such as horrifying, but oh well. I've been in the position of having a cockroach land or crawl on me as well, and let me tell you...I jumped and screeched like a little bitch. LOL. Shaking my shirt and body, trying to make sure it was off of me. And even with it off me, I was still shaking my shirt at the thought of such a pest having been on me. Your sister is a brat for having flung one on you, if it was done on purpose.

I'm not sure why those little things (little, as in we are much bigger than they are) scare the hell out of people, but they do. I liken it to an elephant being scared of a mouse. It's hilarious. A Cara and Kahlan fic about it would be hilarious too. But I'll leave that to you to write.
