Afraid Of The Dark
Believe it or not, I slept with my light on last night. I'm not sure how i come across... as a shivering small-voiced lassie who's afraid of the dark, or a brave gal who looks up at the night sky with admiration... or maybe a little bit of both.
Pun, Yan, and I watched 28 days later last night and during the movie i wasn't too wigged out, just a little grossed out at points. I didn't mind the gore since I was surrounded by warmth and blankets... which really helps a lot when there are red-eyed, heavy mouth breathers that vomit blood all over their victims for no apparent reason.
It was later that night that it got to me. The night seemed just a little bit louder than normal, and the shadows just a little bit deeper, and myself a little less eager to walk by them. I noticed when I had to walk into a dark room, I would hold my breath as I searched for the light switch with too much eagerness.
I even left the light on in my room, the brightest one. I tried all the lights until I found the one that brought out the most calm in me. The little red one wasn't bright enough.
I had no bad dreams though, and no bad thoughts haunted my sleepy mind before I slept. I just had to go through the motions to ensure lighting, locked doors, and the removal of any coats that might appear threatening. It's funny because if anything from that movie really did make an appearance, lack of coats and a locked window would be rather useless, wouldn't they? And yet, i felt much better after going through the after-dark-motions and precautions.
It's been a while since I've enjoyed some good old horror.
