I'm never quite comfortable at night. I always get a feeling of fear and dread in my stomach once the darkness takes over. I always think that the devil comes out of his hiding place as soon as light disappears.729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsa6iBbeXRS
Yet for some dumb reason, I can't stay in the safety and security of my bed close to my husband. Because I still have an irrational fear of the dark, I can't sleep. 729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡijY1g2tu38
On this particular night, I get out of bed and I go to the living room. I open my laptop, go on to Netflix and try to watch Mean Girls. The house creaks as it settles and even though I know this, that feeling of fear is still there. Why don't I just turn on the goddamn lights instead of sitting here in the dark?729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1nJ2Xs6oQn
It's the only rational thought in my mind, so I get off the couch and head over to turn on the lights. As I make my way over, I hear the house shift again. I gaze towards the stairway leading to the bedroom and my paranoia that someone else is in the house rises up. But my husband always reassures me that our home is protected.729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmBjZGLgzIv
I shake my irrational fear of the dark and flick on the light switch. And that's when I see it.729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfN2BGzrNZW
Just as the lights turn on, a shadowy creature skitters off and I hear it say something as it disappears:729Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvObqOnBvKw
