Special Agent Fox Mulder

Case: 2X13/Irresistible

The conquest of fear lies in the moment of its acceptance. In understanding what 
scares us most, is that which is most familiar, most common place. That boy next 
door, Donnie Pfaster, the unremarkable younger brother of four older sisters, 
extraordinary only in his ordinariness, could grow up to be the devil in a 
button-down shirt. It's been said that the fear of the unknown is an irrational 
response to the excesses of the imagination. But our fear of the everyday, of 
the lurking stranger and the sound of foot falls on the stairs, the fear of 
violent death, and the primitive impulse to survive, are as frightening as any 
X-File, as real as the acceptance that it could happen to you.
