i used to believe in many frightening things at our flat, many of them lurking in my room at night, but i was never scared of the dining room: there, under the bench, where we put the plastic shopping bags, slept a friendly burglar. i was sure he wouldn't hurt me but on the contrary wake up when something was wrong and protect me from any evil!
