I am writing a story for the GC and I need a long list of words beginning with F. The list so far is frazzled, frightened, fearful, so any more along the same lines would be great. They do Not have to be English, or real words, just words that sum up a state of fear.

The heroine of my story Is s ‘righter of wrongs’ and is designing a website to advertise her business if that helps.
Thanks.

I write stories and poems for my Grandaughter. I am at present going through Court to get to see her again. She is desperate to see me too and emails me regularly. It is a long story..... all l know is that l have done nothing to deserve this treatment, and neither has 10 year old little girl. We are so similar in character, and l know that she will seek me out whatever happens.
Anyhow.... l find that children like " Flatulence or Fart.
I always let my kids enjoy a "mucky half hour"
