Our nations afraid of the dark
Nation Hell, most people are
afraid of the dark. It’s biology, genetics, packed in our DNA, dates back to
when our primitive ancestors were prey.
Are you afraid of the dark Im not
he eyed him suspiciously
No, Im not afraid of the dark
either.
lyinghe knew it thought it a question of machismo it wasnt it was an honest ask but something he wouldnt be honest about
not if it coloured him in a light he imagined
masculinely untoward
Why do yasay tha Yare being dishonest
You’re not afraid of the dark?
No I said I wasnt
Lemme ask you How long did it take you to shed the fear of the
darkit took me most of a yearmust have been nine ten we lived in a hunred year old house brick foundation gargantuan oilfed
furnace that looked like a monstrous hydra Id go hanging lightbulb to lightbulb
deeper into the basementturning one on going back to the last turning it off
until I was in the farthest reaches depths with one bulb burning above my head Id take a breath yank the dangling stringhard so it bobbedbounced over head an
I coudnt find it if I wanted to Id steep in
the blackness til I thought Id lose my mind then fleerunning into things running
up the wood basement stairs up into the house then out the front door onto the
porch an through its dooroutdoors onto the front lawn panting Better part of a year Until I slayed my fear of the dark
Had I not confronted it Id
still be frightened today
Howd ya
process yours beat it
Eventually I did, I grew older. I
didn’t have a process like you.
Yours evaporated
I supposemust have. I’m not
afraid of the dark now.
he wanted to cry Horseshit but didnt when someone lies eventually itll creep up on them an it will then theyd have to contend with it
This is a nation of fear exacerbated manipulated by fear
Maybe because I put mine
away long ago I can clearly see that
I can see too.
Sure You can see
