Fictional Worlds

Fictional means not real, correct? I spend the majority of my free time, if there is any, reading fictional stories or watching fictional movies or TV shows. These story lines intrigue me and are a part of who I am. The stories that are very far fetched (sci fi, fantasy and dystopian) are the ones that I tend to read or watch, but also try to stay away from. The most prominent, creepy stories are The Walking Dead, Divergent, or a books series titled, The Dead and the Gone. All Disney cartoons, and other in that genre, are fair game, however. All of these stories have a 99.99% chance of happening, but still give me the willies.    

Regardless of the chances, I will forever fear the possibility of myself getting caught in these stories. The tension in the story and the characters scare me because I am set on the fact that if I was put in these situations, I would not make it. Nothing gets more irrational than this; because it is fictional! Meaning, the story is untrue and is purely a figment of the author's imagination. None of the events or people or ideas are real, so why do I fear them? How I would react if these situations became non-fictional is beyond me. It would not be pretty. 

On another note, I would be thrilled to be placed in a Harry Potter setting and most of the Disney stories as well, but the scary situations (and you know what I am talking about) are a no fly zone.
