For a fren

Allison: Dread comes unannounced and then consumes our feelings with its irrational sense of doom. Have you ever had the feeling of dread? I'm not talking about fear. Fear is immediate. Fear is what kicks in when you're confronted with danger: a mugger with a gun, a stranger in your house. I'm talking about dread. Dread is persistent. It gnaws at you. You can't ignore it. It just won't go away. Because that's what dread is, it's worrying about something you can't do anything about. Dread can affect your job, your home, alter your entire personality.
