Fear as a Tool for Social Mutation: Between Power and Perception
Author: ©2024 William Castano-Bedoya
THREE-MILE CHRONICLES: Reflections on Fear
As I walked today, the nearly nonexistent soft Florida autumn breeze and the rustling of Miami’s leaves beneath my feet reminded me of how fleeting life is, and how fear, that constant shadow, can take many forms… That personal fear, so intrinsic to the human experience, seemed to surround me, not only within myself but in everyone around me. It was as though with every step, every breath, fear spread like an invisible web connecting us all. That day, as I walked my usual route, something changed. I reflected not only on the fear I felt but also on that collective fear we all share, a fear that feeds off the uncertainties that stalk us from every corner of the world.

William Castaño
William is a Colombian-American writer who captivates readers with his ability to depict both the unique experiences and universal struggles of humanity. Hailing from Colombia’s Coffee Axis, he was born in Armenia and spent his youth in Bogotá, where he studied Marketing and Advertising at Jorge Tadeo Lozano University. In the 1980s, he immigrated to the United States, where he naturalized as a U.S. citizen and held prominent roles as a creative and image leader for projects with major corporations. After a successful career in the marketing world, William decided to fully dedicate himself to his true passion: literature. He began writing at the turn of the century, but it was in 2018 when he made the decision to make writing his primary occupation. He currently resides in Coral Gables, Florida, where he finds inspiration for his works. William’s writing style is distinguished by its depth, humanity, and authenticity. Among his most notable works are ‘The Beggars of Mercury’s Light: We the Other People’, ‘The Galpon’, ‘Flowers for María Sucel’, ‘ Ludovico’, and ‘We’ll meet in Stockholm”.
