I fear dying.
I'm pretty much on board with this. I don't want to die, because I enjoy life, and the mere fact that life exists. Christians talk about mystery; the aforementioned fact is a mystery.
I do fear the physical process of death, which can come in many ways. Aheart attack sounds painful and doom-filled. Breathing trouble can induce panic. A car accident that you initially survive only to be pronounced dead at the hospital? Do not want!
So, I'd need to vote both, but I voted neither.
