when i was little, i used to make my mom or dad walk with me through certain hallways in the house because they were ungodly frightening. i never really knew what exactly it was that was so scary to me; but it just was.
when my little sister would ask me to walk with her through certain hallways; i would yell at her and force her to walk through them herself. i told her that there was nothing to be scared of and ridiculed her about it.
the truth is -- i'm still just as scared as she is.
& if for once, out of the entire 17 years that i have been alive, something was to happen.
i'm not sure how much of a fight i could put up for that girl.
& the fact that shes depending on me for that protection frightens me even more.
