There’s a place so dark you can’t see the end

Clouds surround the moon, the stars shine not very bright. Sitting on my bike, I ride down a small path. In front of me I can see nothing but complete darkness. Nothing but a black spot, that moves foward as I move down the path. Near and next to me I am able to see the vague forms of a hedge and a fence. Having cycled and walked down this path so many times, I exactly know when to stop in order to prevent a collision with a tiny gate halfway through the path. I jump of my bike to open the by tree's surrounded gate. When try to open the gate, which is not higher than my shoulders, I look back over my shoulder. A red light, comming from the back of my bike, shines on it's surroundings, turning everything red. When I finally manage to open the gate, I rush trough it. Pushing my bike fowards, I walk through a garden. The back of a house and a small parch of gras on my left side, a somewhat bigger and more open parch of grass on my right side. Suddenly I got scared. Imagening someone jumping up from behind the trees next to the gate and hitting me or something like that. With my bike in my hand I rush to the next gate, out of that backyard into the next. There are some lights in this one, making me feel a bit saver, but yet I keep this hunted feeling. When I got out of that garden back on the path again, almost in my own back yard, I realize there is nothing to be afraid of. I get to the end of the path, to our little shed to put my bike away, and I see the garden that lays behind our own backyard. I see the bushes that mark the end of our backyard near to me and behind and next to that again nothing but darkness. I got the feeling a great monster could jump out of it any moment. A big hairy... werewolf. As fast as I could I put the light on in the shed. I put my bike away and wait a second. The light brings me comfort again. Now I have to cross our backyard to get to the house, which is quite dark as there are no lights on inside. I run across the grass, up on to the patio. The backdoor is locked of course and rapidly I try to find the right key. Standing there I got the feeling any sniper could hit me in my neck very easy. Sniper? Where the hell could he sit? Right on the shed of our neighbours, or in that tree there. When I finally open the door, I run through the dark kitchen, into the light hallway, to the frontdoor. I laugh my as off because of my behavior, but walk back instantly to lock the back door, after checking if my sis is in the living room. Where was I so scared for? A shadow springing up from behind a tree to grab me? A werewolf with a riffle? It's not likely to meet one in my backyard. Yet I got so scared back there.

I got scared in the dark -_-. I thought I was passed that...×_×. Thinking about it, I got scared for a monster under my bed a while ago. How stupid. Am I the only idiot who still gets scared in the dark every once and a while (it's not like everytime it's dark or anything, it doesnt happen very frequently) ??

ps. sorry for the spelling/sentence mistakes, but it's quite late so my brain doesnt work really well.

*edit* Maxime, here is a pic straight outta war declared on scanner :

A bit messy, fucked up drawings, but hey you gotta practice to get perfection. The pencildrawn dude should be bold, and the lock isnt supposed to be there, but as I said before, it's just a practise sheet thing. music: Kawada, Millencolin and SkipTheRush (i love the beginning of that song~_~). for the quiz thing: omg i really am a emo-lite XD

"Nothing but a black spot, that moves foward as I move down the path." Wat een Lotte post =P

Yeah I get scared in the dark. Pretty much always. I don't think I ever feel comfortable in the dark, whether I'm alone or not. Even if I'm surrounded by big/strong people I'm scared...

That's a small scanner pic. I can't click for an enlargement. Why's it "dedicated" to me? Because of the whole scanner thing? Zinloos geweld I tell ya.

I'm also emo around the edges. Phew. You can't use it against me.
