I have a fear for gigantic things ever since I could remember.
High-rise buildings, Gus tanks, Steel towers, Windmills, Water towers.
Seeing those things makes the bottom of my stomach squeezed and my spine cold.
When I was little, nobody around me feared mega-things as I did.
I couldn’t find the answer why it's only me who is so scared.
As I became an adult, I found out there are some people who are afraid of seeing mega-things just like me.
It’s called megalophobia.
Acrophobia ones have a fear of heights. Megalophobia ones feel the same way for mega-things.
It’s weird that I’m attracted to mega-things while I am so scared of it.
I can’t help going to the bottom of mega-things although I know my foot is to be frozen,
and I fearfully look up to it from between my fingers that are covering my eyes.
I have seen those mega-things at towns, suburbs, and destinations of travel with this inexplicable feeling that became distinct with time.
