Hook

Have you ever walked three blocks away from your home, only to freeze on the sidewalk with a sudden jolt of panic: Did I turn off the stove? Did I lock the front door?

You do not actually remember leaving the burner on. You have zero evidence of smoke. Yet, within five seconds, your brain writes a five-act tragedy involving fire trucks, ruined furniture, and your neighbors staring at you in disbelief. Uncertainty has an uncanny way of hijacking human imagination. When we do not know what happened for sure, our anxious minds love to assume the absolute worst.
