As I have pro­gressed through my life I have become aware of var­i­ous pho­bias that exist in my psy­che. Most of my pho­bias are per­fectly rea­son­able and I’ve man­aged to trace some of them back to child­hood trau­mas that likely seeded them. However, some of my pho­bias are unrea­son­able and totally insane; for exam­ple, I have come to notice that I have a fairly strong fear of tem­po­ral dis­con­ti­nu­ities. What I mean by tem­po­ral dis­con­ti­nu­ities is unno­ticed jumps far for­ward in time, kind of like in the movie Flight of the Navigator. I don’t know where the fear derives from and it’s so thor­oughly implau­si­ble an occur­rence that giv­ing it even a hint of cre­dence is silly but it’s still some­thing that I fear.

Seriously though, I really hope that I never come back from a walk, drive or sail to find my friends and fam­ily had long since given me up for lost and that I must adjust to a world that has changed greatly dur­ing my lost time.
