Mommy says there is no reason to be afraid
of the dark because dark is only the absence of light. She says that everything
is still the same around me only I can’t see it because there is no light to
see it with. As well, she says there is no boogie-man, no monsters hiding under my
bed, and no skeletons living in my closet. I suppose she is mostly right. But
I’m not so sure about that one really dark spot right next to my dresser there towards
the floor. I mean when my eyes get used to the darkness in my room I can still
see some shapes and shadow of things, but not there. There it is like a nothing
spot. So dark that nothing could be there at all. It seems more like a deep void
where not even darkness can get into.
I have heard that people when they die,
they follow a bright light to heaven. Now I wonder… if following the light
leads to Heaven, Where does darkness lead. And what horrible creatures might
from there emerge?
