Let's talk about phobia.
I'm afraid of darkness, and that's called achluophobia. It's a common phobia, though, because many young children have night terror, whereby they'll get the shock of their lives when they suddenly wake up in the night to find everything else, well, dark. My achluophobia, though still considered a phobia, isn't exactly severe. Or so I thought, till I went to the common toilet on Level 2 of Female Block just now, when my phobia surfaced, again. It wasn't total darkness, or you may think. But it was only lit by mere dim light, though not flickering, but sufficient to send chills down your spines. Please, pardon my lack of creativity for more interesting phrases, for my brain juices have seemingly dried up, all in the account of the most annoying and disgusting, yet important, SGC of the year.
*OK you may catch your breath here*
As I was saying, it was dark. Everything around me was as if in twilight condition. Now you see it, now you don't. Exactly. It got even more disturbing as I closed the cubicle door. Now I know how those people with claustrophobia - afraid of confined spaces - feel. Suffocating, that was. And NO I can assure you it's definitely not due to the stench, if there were any to begin with.
And then I saw it! The longest word in the dictionary! But what an irony, for it stands for fear of long, English words. Here you are, lo and behold, the mightiest word with the longest string of alphabets attached,
HIPPOPOTOMONSTROSESQUIPPEDALIOPHOBIAThere you have it. Fear of long words, which happens to be the longest word ever.
The other day Aulia sort of counted the number of characters in that very word, but age seem to have caught up with me because I can't recall how many that was now.
Adios amigos!
