Today’s prompt:

1) Make a list of the five things that you or your character are most afraid of.
2) Circle the one that makes your heart race and palms sweat.
3) Write a scene in which you or your character has to confront the scary thing in a very public place – filled with people – so you (or the character) can’t freak out and run away screaming. You have to interact or avoid the scary thing, but in such a way that no one else will notice you are afraid.
4) Do all of the above without using the word “afraid,” “fear,” or “scared.” Show the emotion instead of telling the reader about it.

Karly got up the following morning. She was still feeling anger towards Grandma because of the way she treated WT. She had had enough. She was going to join WT in the march across the 16th street viaduct. After breakfast she planned to tell everyone what her plans were.
 
She buttoned up her floral blouse and headed for the kitchen. Her entire family was sitting at the dining room table, except Grandma. Karly's stomach felt as though there were frogs hopping around inside.
 
"Morning," said Mom. "Why are you wearing your good floral blouse?"
Dad looked up from his paper. "You look very pretty. Are you going shopping or to the movies today?"
Karly shook her head. Perspiration began to sprout under her arms.
"I'm going to...I going to march over the bridge. She said it so fast that Dad asked her to repeat what she said.
"I said that I'm...Before she could finish Grandma walked in.
Karly's armpits began to feel like a cloud raining on her blouse.
Grandma set a plate of toast on the table. "Anyone care for more scrambled eggs?," she asked.
Karly averted her eyes from Grandma  and grabbed a piece of toast.
Mom and Jack shook their heads.
"They were deliscious," said Dad. "But I already had two helpings."
"I'm going to finish my coffee and then do the dishes," said Grandma, sitting down.
"So, where are you going?" asked Dad
Karly spred jam on her toast  Now her stomach felt as though there were a thousand frogs hopping inside it. I said, I'm going to march across the sixteenth street viaduct with WT and his family.
"What," Grandma raised her voice. "You know I don't want you spend time with that Negro and now you're going with him to a march with those people. I will not allow it."
Now Karly's stomach felt like a thousand frogs were hopping inside it.
"I don't care if you spend time with WT," said Dad. "But I don't think it's safe for you to go to the march."
will finish later.
