Fessus Timere

Or rather 'Fear Fatigue' if you rather, this is a theory that was developed outside the Fear Library, by many of the bloggers that seem to roam the world, in many different universes, I wonder whether my other version is doing this task as well, or maybe he is like you running for his life from the Timors, but that doesn't have any bearing on the theory, unfortunately.

 Fessus Timere theory states that the Timors in existence at this moment in time, are not the same as those that initially came into being. This can be seen in such cases as Timor Lignum Homo, he initially only hunted pre pubescent Children, then his victims became teenagers and adults who had escaped him when they were younger, with the next change being so he only targets adults who try and prevent him from taking children, his primary target. Now he may have had this type of behavior before, and now it has just become better documented, however for the sake of the theory lets assume this isn't the case.

The theory maintains that like snakes and other animals of that variety, it is sometimes needed to shed their previous 'skin', or perception, becoming a new, different version, rejuvenating itself. If you were to travel back to the stone age I doubt the early humans would have been victims of the fears we would recognize today. Imagine, for examples sake, that you are in a small community sitting around a fire with a few guards, your main fears would be what lies in the dark, the unknown, or getting lost from the group in a strange place. So therefore Timor Nihil wouldn't change because you can't change nothing, if there is nothing to change.

Timor Solitarios Civitatem wouldn't have been different. As it would still be strange for the subject to be plopped in the middle of a modern city. This may also explain the description and design of 'aliens' from the old world, that if you looked today may be adequate to describe a skyscraper. The other Timors such as Timor Lignum Homo would change as it would have been easier to lose children in these pre historic times, to 'animals', Timor Nex, as people found more and more imaginative ways to die. With Timor Angelus changing as Religion likewise evolves, Timor Morbus as more diseases are observed and doctors become more prevalent.

Actually a side note from this, we at the Library find it odd that this form of Timor Morbus has endured so long, especially as we have experienced worse epidemics since the Plague that ravaged Europe. The only explanation we can muster is that it is a racial memory from a time when the mere sight of any plague doctor became synonymous with a painful disease, a terminal disease at that. This is highly contrasts against the doctors we see as those of healing in today's society, opposed to the death dealing of the Plague Doctors.
