I've been chatting away tonight, and I 've been talking about how much I hate the dark, which got me to thinking just now: what is so scary about the dark? Is it that someone could jump out, that they could be hiding somewhere? Or does it all lead back to monsters under the bed?? It's a very strange thing to still be scared of the dark at 23 years old, but scared I am. I can sleep in it fine, but having to stay awake in charge of a residential unit of 22 disabled people at night is not too nice!...
