I’m Scared and I Would Also Like My Mom

What it does

Fear stripped down to vulnerability, rescue, and the oldest available source of comfort.

Use it when

  • A situation feels genuinely frightening.
  • Bravery has run out.
  • You need immediate protection or reassurance.

For example

  1. The storm shelter door rattles under the wind.
  2. You wait alone for the late-night scan results.
  3. The cave tour lights fail beyond the last marked exit.
