Childhood Fear

Do you remember what you were afraid of when you were a child? Was it monsters? Or swimming? What about getting lost in a big store, all by yourself? When I was little I was afraid of the dark, but just during the night. I was fine if I knew it was day outside and I was in a dark place, but it was something about it being night outside and me being in a dark place. When I would go to bed, I always would put my covers over my head because that made me feel safe. I used to let myself think that if I had the covers over my head, no one or nothing could find me. I would not go to the bathroom during the night I would just hold it until the morning because I was afraid something would get me if I were to step a foot outside of my bed in the darkness. I absolutely hated the dark, I always felt like there was something there just waiting for me.
