Afraid of the Darkness

There's a reason monsters hide under the bed. We're more scared of you than you are of us. That look on your face, that scream on your lips when you eventually see us, it's enough to make us forget we were ever humans at all. Because even a monster can be afraid of the darkness.

Memories are Funny Things

Memories are funny things. The good ones fill your life with meaning, with context, with clarity. While other memories can deceive.
