She looked blank. 'Eat it?' 'No, what you do is, you hang it up outside your door, and it tells you if it's going to rain.' Another thing Bethan had learned was that there was no real point in trying to understand anything Twoflower said, and that all anyone could do was run alongside the conversation and hope to jump on it as it turned a corner.'I see,' she said. 'Rincewind is like that, you see.' 'Like seaweed.' 'Yes. If there was anything at all to be frightened about, he'd be frightened. But he's not. The star is just about the only thing I've ever seen him not frightened of. If he's not worried, then take it from me, there's nothing to be worried about.' 'It's not going to rain?' said Bethan. 'Well, no, metaphorically speaking.' 'Oh.' Bethan decided not to ask what 'metaphorically' meant, in case it had something to do with seaweed.","author":"Terry Pratchett","tags":["bethan","frightened","metaphorically","rain","rincewind","seaweed","the-star","twoflower"],"id":18746,"author_id":"Terry+Pratchett"},{"text":"In the dark behind the glare of the television, like a mannequin behind it, I could see a silhouette and it wasn’t moving. It was maybe six foot high with its shoulders hunched and I blinked to make sure it was real. The TV fuzzed grey and white and black and I had a lump in my throat that I couldn’t swallow away. “Rory” I whispered. Clawing out gently beneath the duvet cover, reaching for his hand. But I couldn’t find it. And he didn’t answer.","author":"Kate Chisman","tags":["frightened","frightening","ghost","ghosts","girl","haunted","haunted-house","horror","night","nightmare","nightmares","scary","scream","stalker","stalking","terror"],"id":19037,"author_id":"Kate+Chisman"},{"text":"Faith is rare because fear is rampant.
