FEAR Chapter #1: When You're Scared…

When you're scared just count to ten, you will feel all good again. When it's dark then count to eight, Boogie Man will hide and wait. When you see him count to five... Pray that you will stay alive- BoogieMan

Children know it as a lot of things, Boogie Man, 'The monster under my bed', and many other names besides. But all in all, it's only one thing.

Fear.

That's right. It's simply fear. Sometimes it might be childish, but think about it. When you grow up, that monster in your closet becomes the fear you have in the middle of the night of a mass murderer in your closet, just waiting to come out. Just waiting to pounce.

No one is fearless. Although they might not show it, everyone has a deep, dark fear. When they're caught in it, it threatens to eat them alive. And even then they might not show it. Even then they might not cry out for help, because even then, even if they plead for help, it still won't go away.

That is what true fear does to a person.

A child. You may think a child has only foolish fears. But they don't. They can almost have the same fears as you and me. And maybe, just maybe, this whole thing will make you understand that. Because as they got older, Kai, Takao, Rei, Max, Hiromi, Hitoshi, and all the other's only had their fears grow. Only to have them get larger, bigger, and more threatening then before.

This will show you what happens when you get scared.

This will lead you into the minds of those whom get scared.

This just might show you what happens when you get scared.

Because when you're scared, it's hard to find a way out.

When you're scared you don't know where it can lead you.

When you're scared, a simple kiss good-night and a tuck in won't help.

When you're scared…
