A reflection of my short story

  A short story about my most memorable moment. Well, it was certainly easier to write than to write about due to the very personal and almost private environment it has always had. I chose to write about the moment my deepest fears were born and the effects it has had on my life. What makes my story significant? Where would this type of writing generally be found.
  In all honesty, the only real significance of my story is that it hold such much power over my life for an event that happened almost 14 years ago almost two thirds of my life. If any subliminal thought exists in my short story about my eisotrophobia at all it would be, "Am I crazy for holding on to this for so long", or perhaps does anyone have any experience or knowledge that might ease my fear. The strongest purpose of my story though is to prove that, my four months in Alaska proved my most memorable moment, and to provide a skosh of scare
   With expansion and a little falsification for excitement and action this could easily be turned into a script for a movie, a short scary story book that kids read or even a novel. As it stands currently, the probable mediums are likely a rotating facebook post or some kind of occult site.
  I have written Eisotrophobia to be read by anyone who might be interested. Although fear of mockery held certain constraints on my writing. Something that is so controversial and close to my life might be taken the wrong way, and I can't afford to be judged by it. The core rhetorical audience was of course the instructor who requested the assignment. That being the case my writing flowed in the direction that I thought a professor would most appreciate. Making sure to follow certain guidelines and including many dialogues and vivid imagery.
  When writing all of these things were considered even subconsciously  to affect the way that the paper turned out. Had I been given an audience to write or a context to use my story would have a different format entirely. Who knew that I would actually learn something in my 0990 class that I thought I was too good for. Rhetoric may turn out to be quite the tool yet.
