[Faye]
I know it might sound strange, I still am and have always been a little afraid of the dark. Actually no, that’s not quite accurate. Terrified would be the appropriate word. Terrified of the dark. I know all little kids fear the dark a little bit at some point, but the terror I feel go beyond the regular childhood fears of monsters under the bed or in the closet. I don’t fear being in the dark. I have an honest fear of the darkness itself. When I stare out into a complete deep shadow, it doesn’t feel empty, it feels overwhelmingly full.
And I know that when I look at the dark, the dark is looking back.
But try explaining that to anyone who will listen. You’ll be sent in for an evaluation quicker than you can say “psychosis.”
Ask me how I know.
Actually no, don’t ask me.
