Despite the specifics of the fraud, becoming a victim of identity theft can end up costing you a ton of time, stress, and money. There is no one specific way to prevent identity theft. The best thing you can do is take preventative measures to ensure that identity theft is less likely to happen to you. The more you know and the more you do, the better off you are. There are multiple ways to stay safe from this crime. One big thing many people don’t think about is their online activity. Every website you go to tracks you through “cookies.” “Cookies” enable them to see your search history and to place ads all around other websites. Google is the primary website that does this. By tracking your search history, hackers can see where you go to purchase items and hack your accounts and get your credit card information. We are most vulnerable when online.

Identity thieves need only a few or one of these to be able to become you. Many of these are everyday information you give out to strangers, random or regular secure websites, job applications. Meaning you are vulnerable everyday, at all times. Best way to be secure against any and all threats is to not go out or live life.

fear of life taking a drastic/dramatic change for the worse. creating change, but thinking it could be a bad choice.

KIANOTAPHOBIA

The world rotating,

what a beautiful sight. Not seen

by most, but noticed nonetheless. Day, night, a.m., p.m.; causing the slightest movements in behaviour. Intertwining forces battling one another for dominance yet never giving way. A declaration of a never ending war. Finding peace within the structure created to move in a cycle of an ever expanding concentrated measure of causalities. Leaving behind nothing â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;cept everything thrown asunder.

What a world we live in,

a place we call

home, so familiar to us, so known by us, always the same, yet always different, never needing us to suckle it, but giving us everything we need & more.

Mother Nature,

what a brutal force you are to behold.

Taking what you want, when you want it, with absolutely no remorse for the ones living atop. Constantly having to bend to your will. Nothing is certain, no wonder we fear of vicissitude.

FEAR

THE VIPER A scary story for those in need of scary stories

NYCHTOPHOBIA One strange night, a man receives a call. The person on the other line says his uncle has just passed away and in his passing, his uncle gave him his house just outside of a town on top of the hill. Rumors had it that the house was haunted...yet he decided to move in anyway.

Late one night, the phone rang. When he answered it, a voice was heard, “I AM THE VIPER. I WILL BE THERE IN TWO HOURS!” Suddenly hanging up, giving no chance to the man to answer.

Not long afterwards, the phone rang again, with the same eerie voice crying out, “I AM THE VIPER. I WILL BE THERE IN THIRTY MINUTES!” Quickly hanging up again. The man began to wonder who is it exactly that keeps calling and hanging up before he has a chance to respond.

Before he knew it, the phone was ringing once again, “I AM THE VIPER. I WILL BE THERE IN TEN MINUTES!” Very concerned about what he should do now. He slowly began to panic.

“I AM THE VIPER. I WILL BE THERE IN FIVE MINUTES!” The phone rang. He began to panic.

“I AM THE VIPER. I WILL BE THERE IN ONE MINUTE!” He began to run around and lock all the windows and the doors, immediately calling the police and explaining the situation. The operator stated the police are on their way. Suddenly a loud knock on the door. Shaking with fear, “Is that the police?” The man cried. “No,” replied the voice, “I am the Viper, I come to vipe you vindows.”
