You are not the only one afraid of the dark my friend. in fact, I think I will add to your story.

AH! I KNOW THIS FEEL!

I used to be terrified of the dark. I still hate it! I can totally relate.

Very nicely done.

I love how this plays tricks with the mind. Is the shadow real? Is it just projection?

Gosh how I hate this feeling! You captured it perfectly though. :)
