Fear Itself (excerpt)

Synopsis:

Society is on the verge of Covid lockdown.  Terror is in the air.

Whether it be fear of death, fear of disease, fear of failure, fear of people, fear of oneself, fear of one’s ‘demons’, fear of the truth, fear of commitment, fear of anger or fear of fear itself – all of this is played out against the background of a once-in-a-century event that throws the human condition into stark relief.
