Okay, I'm delusional - I'm a big chicken :)<br /><br />If I come home to an empty house after dark, I grab a baseball bat and search the entire house - under beds, in closets, behind shower curtains - everywhere. If I'm home alone and I wake up to a noise, I try to convince myself it's my overactive imagination. Sometimes it works, and then sometimes I see my pets awake, ears perked - dogs ready to bark and the cat ready to hide under the bed.

The funny thing about where I lived...the houses were about 12 feet apart and my grandma's sister lived on one side and her sister-in-law on the other. It's not like I was EVER alone. It was me. I was nuts. And my dad traveled so much.<br /><br />Now, I relish the time alone and have a million things to fill every single minute. It's just the nighttime thing, right before I go to bed. I've gotten better. The first night is still rather sleepless. Maybe next week will be different?Ginahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04841767868797265391noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6575124099588454367.post-24919250086920476052012-10-23T20:20:50.392-05:002012-10-23T20:20:50.392-05:00No scary movies for me.

I loved that show, Dark Shadows. I had a similar childhood with my father traveling quite a bit. We lived out in the country with no neighbors. I like how you tie that into your story. The tension builds.
