There's a monster under my bed

Okay there's no monster under my bed. But the fear that haunts me when i get to my empty house full of moving shadows is just as spooky.

I cant help and freak out when i get home. When i get home i've already had dinner somewhere, it's already dark, and no lights are on. I hurry to my door and put the key in the keyhole. Of course i turn it in the wrong side and only waste more time outside, vulnerable.

Once i'm inside you'd think i feel safe. I dont. There is always a dark corner from where a terrifying sight could emerge. There is always something i saw moving from the corner of my eye...

I run upstairs to my bedrooom. When i get there, i put the lights on, turn around and close and lock the door. I still feel uneasy. I go to to the bathroom. There is this huge mirror that i always avoid looking at during the night hours. I'm scared that i might see a horrible face coming up behind me when i locked everything and was certain that no one was there.

I take a hot shower and stay there for ages, as if the heat could keep demons away. But when you think about it, evil loves fire and heat.

I change to my pajamas and run (again) to my bed. Once there i hide under my huge blanket after turning the air con on. Only then do i drift away in my dreams and do i find some rest and peace.

Can you keep the noise down, I am trying to sleep.
Being a monster who scurries around in the shadows trying to avoid your eyesight is no easy task and is absolutely no cakewalk like portrayed in that blasphemous film "Monsters, Inc.". Good lord, just because Michael Rrroar dislikes Outrageous Bush does not mean he has the right to make fictitious films about the hardworking monsters in the lowly field of under the bed scaring.

I can tell you from experience it is no picnic, but hey it beats being a mirror in the dark scarer.

So, can you please keep the noise down because I have to work tomorrow.

Sincerely,
Grim (The Monster under your bed)

Gar: tu me tues là! Mais je ne dirai pas que tu as tort... Heureusement mon monstre (celui par dessus le lit) est apprivoisé.

Quant à l'autre (celui en dessous) j'y travaille comme tu peux le voir

Ageist!!

I am an equal opportunity scarer, but I prefer adults to kids...for one not as high pitch of a scream.

Though, I just think you have a fear of the dark, it can be overcomed but it must start with you.

That same thing happens when I'm in my friend's house (except I don't really take showers or sleep there...). I always duck when I pass by the large mirror in his home . I swear there's just something not right in that house...maybe I'll write an article on it one day.

I am really a huge skeptic but I always leave that house wondering...

If I have to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night, I climb out of bed noiselessly (as to not rouse the demons), then open my door silently, and dash as fast as I can down the dark hall to the bathroom! I sorta have a problem like you too...in fact I really don't want to look behind me right now.

Why would I not scare someone, scaring is fun...

Though in real life I scare myself more because I have gone back to my hobby of Ghost-hunting, which can get downright scary when you visit out in the middle of nowhere graveyards or other 'haunted' places.

Graveyards? SCARY SHIT!

Aren't ghosts supposed to be your friends??

I am not talking about new modern graveyards...I am talking about graveyards where the last person buried there was buried 100 years ago. Plus there are other haunted places around here...old fire houses...old jails...
Not every ghost is a friend, but I can always try to make friends...plus along with being a research hobby of mine I also seek to understand more than about this subject and actively seek it out with a skeptic's heart so that I eliminate confirmation bias from my research...who knows it could pay off as a movie film idea someday or book.

Aah, i get your point. Well good luck for your book and movie. Just dont bring new friends of yours to my house... i think it's already pretty crowded with you and the little demon that lives in the bathroom (what a pervert!). Not counting the vampire that hangs from the ceiling sometimes, and God knows what's the thing that crawls in and out of my cupboard! (btw, could you tell it to shut the cupboard instead of me freakin out when i find it open when i knew it was shut??! thanx grim )
