When you’re a kid, they tell you not to fear the dark; there’s nothing scary out there, they say. Â But when you’re a kid, those assurances don’t seem to stop you from seeing scary shapes in the shadows at the foot of the bed. Â So you pull the covers up close under your chin, perhaps thinking, like a cat does, that if you can’t see the scary things, then they’re just not there. Â Well, they’re still there! Â So watch yourselves when you walk past those dark doorways. Â Just because you’re standing in the light, doesn’t mean it can’t reach out and touch you!
