As a child did you ever hide from monsters under your blanket? Maybe you still do. I do, and I am now sixteen. Maybe you just brave it out, don’t think about the monster inches from your face, waiting for you to open your eyes a crack or move.

After laying there, paralyzed with fear, you finally gather the courage to quickly yank the blanket over your head. You are safe now. The monster can’t harm you. But it is still there, you can feel it.

But how can your blanket save you, if the blanket is the thing you should be running from?
