I find enthralling the way in which our minds tricks us to find threatening shapes in the darkness of the night.
It`s somewhat obvious how this happens, we need a priming emotion, fear, and then the cycle can be started, our mind looking for threats and predators in every shadowy corner and giving a menacing shape to anything which we cant clearly distinguish, therefore making us react with more fear and pushing our senses in hopes of finding what to flee from.
I remember the way she used to be on the lookout for this. She loved the hunt for the right place and time to create looming beings which where right beyond your reach and sight. She was able to make the uncaring darkness come alive.
I never encouraged her, i knew she enjoyed this and i though she would not stop doing it no matter how un encouraged
