Fear N Phobia

The other day, I noticed a piece of paper lying on the floor.....as usual I got very irritated to see rubbish all over the floor. The next thing, I picked it up using my left foot (I'm a south paw). Was too lazy to bend down, moreover my backbones were simply too stiff to be bend (must be the pre-menopause osteoporosis days...touch wood!)

I used my big toe to hook on to the piece of paper to pick it up. While doing that, I felt something really gooey and sticky on my feet. The feeling was disgusting ! Yucks.....

Cold, wet and stubbornly sticky...

The worst part was, it wouldn’t come off my toe.
I took a look down and realised that it was a dead lizard!


My foot got stuck to a dead lizard with some Elephant gum glueing me to IT.

Oh Gosh..

I screamed like an insane woman ....stomping around the house ...with my left foot raised up high..... hopping and hoping to get the paper with the dead lizard ....off my foot!

I managed to get the paper off but somehow something got stuck to my foot.

I zoomed to the bathroom and used my toilet brush to brush it off my foot when I saw the lizard’s tail. I screamed out my lungs at the sight of the lil tail....still moving and wriggling. Hey..it's still alive although it had been detached from it's entire body parts. Believe me...it's still alive.

I was practically washing my foot for a good ten minutes like “murderer who had just bludgeoned someone, frantically washing off the blood off her stained hands”.

Terrified, I broke into tears. I was mortified and traumatized from the incident. I couldn’t hold back my tears. Big drops of tears trickled down my cheeks like a waterfall gushing down.


Tears out of fear. My heart was beating real fast as if I'm getting a heart attack.

I had accidentally squashed the poor creature when I tried to pick up the paper with my foot. The wet substance sticking on my foot must be the internal organs of the lizzy....imagining it's intestines, stomach, kidneys, penis, lungs and heart....all being squashed to resemble a dough. YUCKS...! I had killed a living thing...by accident...Amitabha !

Perhaps it was time I get over over my fright towards lizards. I didn’t know I would be this frightened. I developed this fear over lizards since I was a young girl. I have this "lizard phobia" which according to experts, "there's no cure for such phobia"

At least now I realised something. "I am definitely not fit to participate in "Fear Factor" like I always thought I am eligible to do. That's the end of my dream to join the show Host in one of his shows. Sigh !
