Yes, this exactly. Just took me 3 times as many words and an extra 40 minutes to say it.
I kinda didnt finish my thoughts there, so don't give shooting from the hip too much credit. Much like a child's imaginary fear or a horror movie that hits well, there is a thrill to it, cause to some extent they know it's imagined. That kind of fear is fun. Ghost stories for racists. Real fear comes with a sense of helplessness
