CLEITHROPHOBIA; the fear of being trapped or locked in an enclosed space.
The world has numerous patterns that have been behaving in cycles for the lifespan of the Earth itself. However, the affect that humans and our activities on Earth have had on these cycles has been detrimental. The long-lasting cycles are now varying wildly and causing many things to be unpredictable. The warming and cooling cycles have been thrown off by an array of factors like CO2 concentration, loss of arctic ice sheets, and the use of resources like fossil fuels, trees, and water.

The hordes of the blood thirsty “Possessed” forced the United States military to enforce a complete quarantine of Haiti (Monstro, 13).

The doctors, swearing to the Hippocratic Oath, want to help everyone that they possible can, but outside forces like the government can force them to pack it up and take the loss with the thought that “they’re hoping… it’ll be the end of the disease.
