You take the smallest sounds, the little lights, and tiny movements that you see out of the corner of your eyes and magnify it into something more. You suddenly restrict yourself to only going places that are well lit and that you know like the back of your hand. Walking through somewhere that's dark messes with your thoughts and scares you...at least it does for me. It's why you turn all of the lights on when you go downstairs or why you run and jump onto your bed when the lights are off. You don't want that monster underneath your bed to catch you.
It's funny how we tease little kids about the monster being in the closet, the monster being under the bed, the ghosts that are going to come and haunt them at night if they're bad, when we're just as afraid of them. I still keep all limbs underneath my blankets at all times at night. I still have to have some soothing noise to fall asleep to if I'm not the first one to go to bed at night. Please tell me that this isn't just me???
