I've always slept in complete darkness. I would always turn every light in my apartment off and sleep with no solitary light. It also makes me wonder if my eyes are closed or open. But one night, after watching my favorite horror movie, I realized I couldn't sleep in all that darkness, where I imagined hideous creatures with blood stained teeth and glowing eyes. So I decided its better to be uncomfortable then tired. Part of it was funny, a twenty-one year old who is scared of the dark. But I gathered my dignity and turned my light on. Hopefully I will flush this fear out of my mind and sleep in the dark again.
Fifteen minutes later I awoke to my window closing.
"I'm sorry I woke you up, but, as you can imagine, it was hard to find you this past week in all that darkness. Especially since my eyes are cloudy since I can't blink".
I wouldn't turn around, I didn't want to see him.
" Now, go to sleep".
