Meet Alex, a 20-year-old Environmental Science student at the University of Waterloo. Growing up in a small town surrounded by nature, Alex has always been passionate about preserving the environment, but has a notorious fear of the dark and anything eerie. This fear often makes him second-guess his love for camping and exploring the outdoors. Caught off guard by a horror movie’s plot twist, he turned to the subreddit to share his fright with fellow students, looking for comedic relief and some assurance that he wasn’t alone in his scare.
