It's funny you know, how easy it is to be brave when everything is laid out in front of you. When you can see what's right in front of you. Daylight... that is the only time when this feeling is secure. Then the sun sets and in creeps the doubt, all the hidden fears. Suddenly every little unsettling thought I have ever had washes over me and I can't move. I am suddenly in a pool, drowning at the face of my own fears.
I know there is nothing to be afraid of, it is actually very childish, some of the thoughts I have. I am constantly afraid of a ghost just popping up out of nowhere. Or one of the monster inc. characters coming in my room trying to get power for the city.
Then there is the most dreaded day of the year. HALLOWEEN. My imagination is way to active for that time of the year. Every horror story I hear of is suddenly magnetized. Everyone is all happy and off scaring people. Where all I can think about is how I am going to get through this year without having to go trick or treating, or go in a haunted house.
You wouldn't believe this but avoiding Halloween is very difficult in my group of friends. They are probably the most into Halloween I have ever seen anyone be. Their houses are always decorated with the scariest decorations, and they always have the best costumes. Sometimes they will even force me to wear a costume and go trick or treating with them even though they know that I am the least into Halloween that anyone could possible be.
In any case Halloween will end up being the best thing to happen to me in the world. But that is another story, for another time.
Right now we are focusing on the fact that Halloween is just around the corner, and already the ghost stories are being told and my heart races every time one comes on. For the next week I will be plugging my ears, flipping on the light every time I hear a creak in the house, and lying in my bed trying to forget that Halloween is coming up.
To tell the full story I must start when this all began. September 14th 2015, it all began.
