i used to believe that there were monsters and flesh eating ghosts hidden all around my room. i thought the only way to protect myself from these creatures was to 1. have the door closed, 2. have the fan on, 3. have the shades of my window down, 4. id have to be under the covers.
These factors combined created this invisible shield over my body. if one factor was missing, my shield would be weaker and id be vulnerable to the monster slaying
