I used to believe that as soon as my mum turned off the lights for me to go to sleep that the vampires could come. Only, I thought that the vampires couldn't kill you if they couldn't see your neck. To this day I sleep with the sheets right up under my chin. Now it's habit, before, I was protecting myself.
