A pregnant woman feels terrified that she will give birth to a monster; a man shopping in a supermarket suddenly panics and, throwing people out of the way, runs from the shop; a young girl never goes to parties nor out for a drink because she is afraid that everybody will laugh at her; a veteran of the Vietnam war dives for cover in his local high street when a car backfires; a middle-aged married woman spends her days and most of her nights worrying about her relationship, her job, and her personal finances; a young man is anxious before being interviewed for his first job; Susan is terrified and runs away when she comes across a bear in the woods; an old lady is frightened when she hears a noise in her house in the middle of the night.
