Agatha Arch Is Afraid of Everything
by Kristin Bair
"Fear sharpens us." This is Agatha's mantra. She's a big fan of Bear Grylls, so that's why she has made this phrase her own motto. In fact, Bear Grylls has said this: "You're not human if you don't feel fear. But I've learned to treat fear as an emotion that sharpens me."
Agatha is really afraid of, well, almost everything. And now her life has been put upside down because of her husband's love affair with the dog walker. She's always felt protected by her husband, and now he has betrayed her. Moreover, he moves right away to live with his new partner and he takes their children with him. They spent time with both of their parents, but Agatha feels even worst by this. She can't bear living only some days of the week with her boys.
She's suppossed to start writing her new book, a thriller, but she can't even go up the stairs and enter her office. Everything reminds her of his husband and what he's done. Therefore, another fear to add to the long list. Eventhough she repeats constantly her mantra and goes with her Bear Grylls bobblehead, it doesn't work. Days are passing by, and it seems she's stuck.
Furthermore, there's a mysterious young woman asking for money in one of the busiest streets in town. Agatha is afraid of her, because she's certain the interloper, as she calls her, is dangerous.
Agatha spends a lot of time reading the comments on the facebook group of Moms. She likes to laugh at them, so she's constantly writing ironic comments in response to anything they say.
Agatha has no friends, and she wishes she had some, but how could she make friends if she can't trust anyone? Anyway, life has its mysterious ways to show us the right path. Sometimes we just need someone who can make us realise we're wrong. Agatha must learn that she's not the only one in pain, and she's defenitely, not the only one with fears. And a little bit of kindness makes things better.
