Pyrophobia

Hi, my name is Victoria Salsman and I am scared of fires. I don't really know why I am afraid of fire, I just kind of always have been. This being said, one of my least favorite holidays is the 4th of July. This isn't because I don't love my country, its merely due to the fact that everyone in the entire United States throws fancy fire in the air. When I was little I was always the little loser kid who had to watch the fireworks from inside the house because I was scared. I've gotten over it a little, but now fireworks just stress me out a whole lot. Also, I absolutely hate storms because I'm scared that lightning is going to strike my house. Sounds a little weird but I've always been scared of storms because of that. In elementary school one of my friend's mom was a nurse in the ER and told us horrific stories of people getting struck my lightning and it entering one hand and coming out the opposite foot. I don't know about you, but that sounds pretty dang scary to me.
