A new fear.

 Afraid of the Light

I watched a creepy movie

where, when people went to bed

a bright white light would call to them,

and they would end up dead.

 

And it certainly changed my perspective

about being alone late at night.

I finally got over my fear of the dark,

but now I'm afraid of the light.

The movies will do that to you. Don't let anybody turn on a bright light while you're sleeping. On the other hand, I watched the Texas Chainsaw Massacre one time and now I lop off limits for a living. ;-)

Can't win for losing. A creepy write.

The baby bat,
screamed out in fright.
Turn on the dark,
I'm afraid of the light.

I thought that was the easiest way to go to the other side when you die in your sleep. You'll never feel any pain. You just sleep and never wake up to this world again.

The Dead Effect by Terry Vinson

Tales of The Zombie or for soap opera fans, perhaps 'Days of The Dead' might be more appropriate.
