Terror in The Box

CHAPTER 2 : THE SENSE

I used to be afraid of the dark.

Not the darkness itself, but fear of possible or imagined dangers concealed by the darkness. 

Bedtime fears – the dark, monsters under the bed, sleeping alone and someone in the closet watching you.

I look around in my room, i'm questioning myself "What on earth, do i get scared easily" monster under the bed-knocking on the window, that's really a childish imagination, well i'm 12 now, that kind of stuff doesn't scared me anymore.

When i was little, my mom always accompany me when i went to sleep , it was around 5-6 and she always whisper to my ears "Sleep well Max, i won't allow darkness catch you" by that, i can sleep without any worries. I belive her 'till now.

Darkness wont be able to catch me 'cause my mom said so.

My big sister always calls me "Scaredy cat or timid boy" i hate it when she calls me that, i'm not timid and obviously i'm not a cat!

I have a strong sense that can tell something wrong or not, well not always true but mostly yes, for an example on last summer when Theo told me that he's going to lake to go fishing with his dad, i had the feeling to tell him not to go.

"Maybe, you shouldn't go...errr i mean don't go tommorow you can go another day"

"What are you talking about ? my dad and i have been planning this a whole week, why do you tell me that?" He said with puzzled looks

"I don't know,hmmm....i think  you should wear a long sleeves tommorow" i suggested

"Are you crazy ? it's hot out there i don't want to get drown with my own sweat" He said while laughing  "I will  probably wear a t-shirt, besides you're not my mother, don't tell me what to wear" he continued as he crossed his arm.

On the next day, i hear news that Theo has been stung by bees , he has an allergic to them, it could be dangerous but luckily his dad rush him to the hospital where he got quickly treatment. i'm glad he's okay except for the rest of summer he can't go anywhere cause his body was swollen, i feel bad for him it must be suck to spend the rest of summer at home.

When i told this story to Ryan he was amazed, he's saying that i have a gift to see the future, he got the point wrong  i didn't see the future where Theo swollen 'cause of bees, i just had weird feeling about he's going fishing that day.

Fortunately no one consider me as a freak, with my dark brown hair and brown eyes i'm pretty normal.

But this time is different, there's something mysterious in sandra's box i don't know what it is but i just feeling that way.

I  close my eyes trying to go to sleep, I decided to count sheeps in my head, it work for me all the time if i have trouble sleep at night.
