1.I had all the usual child fears.I couldn't go to sleep unless the light in my bedroom was on.I dreaded that someday when my mother was distracted,Crazy Betty would grab me in the grocery store.On the hottest summer nights,my feet had to be wrapped tightly in my bedsheets for fear that something might grab it in its cold,slimy claw.
But all other frights paled before the Great Fear,the Titanic of my childhood terrors.That fear was that something would happen to Monk-Monk.
Looking at Monk-Monk today,you wouldn't see what I see.You'd see an old,torn,discolored sock monkey with stuffing leaking from his short tail.I see my dearest childhood friend,my companion of a thousand nights.I bonded with him fiercely and rarely let him out of my sight.
And then Uncle Ken came to visit.He clearly thought it was pretty silly that a big first-grader was dragging a sock monkey around,and he teased me by saying he'd take Monk-Monk home to Ohio with him.I clutched(抓住) Monk-Monk more tightly.
I was at school a few days later when Uncle Ken left.When I came home,I couldn't find Monk-Monk
anywhere.I can hardly describe the depths of my panic.I don't think I cried; my terror was beyond that.I could barely breathe.Where was Monk-Monk?What has Uncle Ken done to him?Had Uncle Ken thrown him out of his car window?Was Monk-Monk lying in a weedy strip along the interstate,lonely and cold,never to be loved again?When I found Monk-Monk behind the sofa,I cried with relief.As far as I can remember,that near-loss of
Monk-Monk was my first encounter with real,deep-down fear.
