A childhood belief about monsters

I live on a farm and I thought that if I went outside of my fence, trees would chase me down, and Once, my cousins told me that if I went outside of my fence at night, an old man with no legs would come out and eat me. I pictured a man lifting up the top of the silo and peeking out for little kids. Later on I thought about how he moved without any legs, and if he had a wheelchair, how could he get out of the top of the silo? Then I got daring and decided I could go outside of the fence at night, because even if that man was real, he couldn't run after me that fast without legs, or wheel fast on gravel. So i went out of the fence, and I swore I heard a loud clang, and I assumed it was the silo banging shut fast cuz he was coming, so I ran into the woods. Then I remembered...Evil Trees wanna kill me! so i just ran inside the fence, in the house, and turned all the lights on. I was home alone, to make matter worse. I backed myself into a corner so nothing could pop out behind me and I could see if something was coming. I sat there for about an hour, and I thought it was alright to get up, but as I did so, someone jiggled the door handle, and I thought it the the no legged man because it would have taken him a while to get to the door, so I sat in my corner and hoped he'd go away, but someone banged on the window, and I wet myself in the corner. I locked the doors, so my parents couldn't get in. They were laughing so hard that they didn't ground me for tinkling on their new carpet.
