Hello Marylin: The Skeezyks fears a lot of things too. As he gets older, he is beginning to fear losing his independence & falling into the ungentle hands of strangers. He also harbors quite a bit of fear regarding money... continuing to have enough to live on between now & the end, whenever that is... But the greatest fear the Skeezyks wrestles with at the present time is the fear of being forced out of his cocoon of solitude.

Although the Skeezyks is married (& fortunate to be so) he otherwise keeps entirely to himself. (He has aged into his retirement years.) The Skeezyks ventures out into the world as little as possible. He has no extended family, friends or acquaintances by choice. No good has ever resulted from the Skeezyks having anything to do with anyone, in real life. The thought that, in some way, he might be forced back out into the real word is more frightening than the Skeezyks would be able to convey in mere words... Loneliness is not so much of a problem for the Skeezyks. Would it be nice to have friends? Sure... but there's plenty of water under the bridge to demonstrate that this is simply a bad idea. The Skeezyks doesn't really do anything in particular about any of this. It all just is what it is. He simply strives to accept things as they are in the present moment. Plus, he does his best to simply stay out of the world's way...
