People always ask me where my fascination with aliens and other weird stuff, comes from. Well when I was a child from the ages 5-13 I had terrible nightmares about aliens and other monsters. My parents thought it was weird that I didn't believe in the boogey man or a monster under my bed; instead I would talk about the sky monsters, saying that they come in the night and scare me. What I thought was weird was I didn't even know what an alien looked like when I was five but yet I could clearly tell my parents what one looked like; I wasn't even allowed to watch scary movies (that included anything about aliens). Ever since then I became obsessed with the weird. My favorite monsters were vampires and werewolves which evolved into witches and zombies and then to demons. I would find books about the supernatural and wouldn't stop reading till the book was done or I fell asleep. This fascination would keep me up nights looking out my bedroom window. Sometimes I would scare myself by accident and sleep with the light on but then scare myself even more when the thought crossed my mind that if aliens were real they would still come, light on or not. I eventually came up with the idea that if I couldn't see them, they couldn't see me. People would say that I was afraid of the dark, but how can you be afraid of something that can’t hurt you, its what comes in the dark that I was afraid of. My fears eventually subsided when I got to middle school and now that I'm in highschool I'm no longer afraid. On the outside I look normal but on the inside I'm trying to find the truth.
