Lygophobia

Lygophobia- Fear of darkness.

When you're younger, you don't really know much about anything. That's why as we get older, we become more wise. When you're young, you're fragile, and can be easily tampered with. That's why your parents never let you watch scary movies when you were small. If they did, then you would most likely end up staying wide awake, afraid, in your bed. Either that or you would run to your mom. Embarassing, but true. What most kids feared was the dark--well it's what I feared anyway. What's so scary about the dark though? Just cause you can't see anything doesn't mean anything. If you were in your room, you knew where everything was even though it were dark. However, think about what's LURKING in the darkness that you can't see.
