Mein Name ist Angst
My Name is Fear
Eliza Plocieniak-Alvarez
We all know fear, and none of us like it. High time, then, that it introduced itself personally and cleared up a few prejudices. Fear appears before the camera as a five-eyed, red furry monster who whispers shyly into the microphone: »My name is Fear. I am one of your emotions.« The ice is broken. Fear suddenly seems surprisingly likeable. And is useful, too!
