Dreading

What's the one thing you always dread?

I am not quite sure how to answer this but I figured I should give it a try.

I have never thought of having an extreme fear.  I have irrational phobias that come from personal insecurities.  I have the normal fear of being brutally murdered or even worse, raped; that scientists will be right and in 20 years all of our ice caps will be gone and the Polar Bears will be extinct.  Now that I have a baby, I have fears that involve him being kidnapped and whatnot.  But I do not loose sleep over these things.

I do loose sleep over bills and my job.  I hate the thought of not being able to return to archaeology.  I loose sleep over self pity about my back and how I need to be more active.  But these are not dreads.

Most fears, I realize, I have no control over or I have complete control over, so I don't let them control my life.  So all dreads must be irrational for me.

I dread that  zombies will rise and take over the world.  Not the slow stupid zombies, but the fast zombies that learn as they go.  We live right next to a cemetery, so we are in a pretty bad location if this were to happen.  Just think of it, having to run from super fast, smart zombies...I guess I should start going to the gym.
