Do you ever frighten yourself?

[TheGinchiest]

I was around... 7 or 8 when my Mom started leaving me alone when she went to work. I was pretty self-sufficient then... the only problem I ever had was getting to sleep.

I could only fall asleep if I was terrified. I'd imagine the most cliche' monsters and ooky things coming out of the darkness to watch over me, waiting for me to open my eyes to gobble me up.

I did that until I was in my late teens, when I replaced my normal routine of ooking myself out with listening to music.

I couldn't sleep last weekend, so I tried the ol' 'The Wolfman is gonna getcha if you open your eyes' bit... except... I dunno... maybe my imagination is just better now... because I ended up in my living room, back to the wall... several lights on, and tv blaring.
