A Child's Eyes

Another one of my favorites.

Every child fears under their bed. If they don't then they fear the closet or maybe that little crack in that almost closed door. Scientists know that children are more perceptive. They see things adults don't. They aren't yet tethered into only accepting what society wants them to accept. They see what is truly there. They see the monsters.  If you were to borrow a child's eyes and see through them for one night, you would go insane. To be able to see what you only dimly remember, burrowing into your covers while wearing those train pajamas hoping to a God you can barely comprehend that if 'it' doesn't see you back.  This would drive any adult crazy. Because adults forget the rules.
1) Cover yourself. If you can't see  it,  it can't see you. Even if it makes it harder to breathe.
2) Don't make a noise. Every whimper can lead to destruction.
3)Don't move. It only attracts attention.
4) Only light can make them go away. Bright light. Flashlights make it worse.
Teens are caught in the middle. They still feel what's there, but they cannot see... And they forget the rules. Why do you think there are so many insomniacs typing at their computers, subconsciously praying the light from their monitors will be enough to keep them away? It's not. Now look behind you with a child's eyes and try not to scream.
