Answer 1

A Dangerous ExperienceEveryone knows how we can take suffer the consequences if we trust a person that we don’t know well. Our life might be changed in the same way as our habits. I used to ride a motorcycle and always used to drive carefully. I had never realized I could have a motorcycle accident that gave me a strong lesson on the rest of my life. Learning something new can be really a scary experience. It happened long time ago on a summer, gray and rainy evening in Poland. It was vacation time, and like usually I decided to go to a disco club by a motorcycle in order to meet my friends. On that day, I was appointed only with my well-known friends. To my astonishment, I noticed a new face that I had never seen before. After a short conversation, as it turned out, Joanna was a little bit quiet and peaceful in spite of that she didn’t have any problems with making acquaintance with the other people. My surprise was displayed when Joanna was asked me about going for a ride my bicycle. I considered her question very carefully with luck of trust in her ability to ride a motorcycle. I put a precondition and said, “Ok, but only if you know how to ride precisely that motorcycle, and if you have ridden before”. With sincere smile on her face she said, “Yes”. I decided to entrust the motorcycle her. However, I sat on the back. To bring my trust, she had promised me to ride slowly.First, our ride was seemed to be safe and not given any basis to danger.The weather condition was not favorable because of drizzle and wet surface of the route. In addition, the day before, that section of a street was under construction. The surface of road, in places, was covered by mud. All of a sudden, to my surprise, Joanna begun driving faster and faster like a plane prepared for taking off. I was terribly surprised of her behavior. My hands were squeezing the hoop of the motorcycle. In addition, my body begun to stiffen, I wanted to do something but I couldn’t. I was trying to use my whole knowledge about riding motorcycles in a few seconds, but I felt like frighten birth in a cage. When my eyes were closed, I didn’t want to allow for a possibility of happening of something unexpected. The time stopped in the same place. When we reached high speed, and approached a sharp band, I stuttered out only two words, “ Plastic parts of the motorcycle were scattered within a radius of 400 feet from the place where we finally stopped. For a moment, I couldn’t believe in that what happen. I was so surprised and frightened that I couldn’t say anything. For some period of time my minds were not on this world. There was nobody on the street that I could face round about help. Because we needed to be bandaged, I decided to call my father from my cell phone. He came in order to drive us to a hospital as soon as it was possible. It was the last time when I saw Joanna.

It's hard not to be fascinated by a scary story. Aside from the rush of fear we get reading a chilling tale, there's an even deeper, often subconscious, connection to mythology involved. Our instincts teach us what to fear. Our fear can protect us from danger, but it can also haunt us in the middle of the night. Aside from our instincts, the only other way we learn fear is through experience. The beauty is, though, that the experience doesn't have to be direct.A good story can inspire the same adrenaline rush in us that a real experience would. The fight-or-flight response that kicks in during a terrifying moment is just as real to us in a dream as it is in reality. What the mind fears, it responds to.Digging through stacks of myths, there are many, many stories to be told. The violent battle between Zeus and Typhon, the deadly stare of Medusa, the vicious rage of a werewolf, or the lethal charm of Count Dracula all can be felt under the skin when we hear their tales all over again.There are a lot of opinions on what makes a story truly frightening, but there is only one I will pronounce as fact.
