My Childhood Fear

When I was a child I was always afraid of being alone in the dark. I live in one of those big old houses were everything creaks. When I used to go to bed at night I would have to jump onto my bed because I was afraid that if I just walked up to it then I would be pulled under by a monster. When I was downstairs by myself at night and all the lights were off and I'd be going upstairs I'd have to start singing a song to keep my mind off of some kidnapper catching me. That was another thing I was scared of, getting kidnapped. I used to watch Law & Order when I was a kid with my parents. And usually they were about people getting killed and people getting kidnapped. So before I went to bed I'd think of a case scenario of me getting kidnapped and how I would get out. But back to being afraid of the dark. I would have to keep my closet door open. Because if I kept in closed I couldn't see what was inside of it .. like kidnappers . So, over all my biggest child hood fear is being alone in the dark.

darkness is always scary, and then believing there's a kidnapper after, even worse. good to hear you figured out a way to help you get it off your mind.

My parents wouldn't ever let me watch law and order because they knew it would mess me up. :(

I hated being alone in the dark too. I always had to have someone with me.
