A childhood belief about fear of

i recall one afternoon i was at the mall with my twin brother and grandma. As it was i was always afraid that the escilator would eat me (this could be because my brother called it the alligator).One time he actually got me to ride it instead of the elivator and that one time it caught my shoe lase and scared me to death. later that night we got home and i walked into the bathroom and was doing my busness when my loving bro came in and turned off the light and told me that the alligater was goin to eat me, butt first. needless to say i sat on the potty screaming till my sister came up to calm me down.

that was nearly 10 years ago and to this day i still cannot walk into any bathroom without the lights on.
