The underpass

It’s the kind of underpass you’re scared of as a kid. But you walk to and from school, through it twice a day, not old enough to analyze the true reason behind your fear. You just get through it as fast as you can. And since you never grew up, you still find it scary to this very day. Now, as an adult, you try to reason with yourself about the true fear: someone could jump out and scare the crap out of you. But now, you have a bike, so you can pedal like crazy. So the fear isn’t so bad.
