I hate heights.

I\’m only 5\’\’3\”, and that\’s really as high up as I ever like to go. Our office is on the 12th twelfth floor, and I can\’t go near the windows. It\’s bad, not even a fear really, but an all-consuming, shaky legs, cold sweat terror. So it makes perfect sense that I\’m about to go up in a hot- air balloon.
