"When" he asked, " when does middle age end and old age begin?"

It took awhile to recover from his question.

Ancient History; Beyond the Hedge; Fear

Fear
When I was a kid I was afraid of heights, very afraid.
We had a little footbridge over a dry ditch. I couldn't cross it.
When I rode in a car I laid down on the floor of the back seat as we drove over high bridges.

Fear has a colour.
It is grey, a frightening green tinged grey.

Fear has a feeling. When seated it is a flash of fire in the thighs above and beside the knees. The energy dissipates in a flash that circles the belly and leaves it aching.
My fear of heights has re-awakened. My belly hurts.
