What's Your Beastie?

Taken from Google Images


When the little 'uns are fretting the beastie from sea, the beastie from air, the beastie from the forest - the all-encompassing beastie - Simon suggests something simple: "...maybe it's only us."  Perhaps the beastie is only a figment of their imaginations - the boys' internal fear of the unknown.  Fear is a tricky thing; it has the capability of swallowing its victims whole, much like it is doing to the boys on the island.

For this journal prompt, I want you to look inside of yourself - what is it that you fear?  What is your beastie?  Keep in mind that the beastie does not have to be typical things that people fear: spiders, the dark, flying.  Go a little deeper - what scares you?  And how do you plan to overcome this fear? How are you going to kick your beastie's butt before it swallows you whole?
