When i was younger(6 i think) i was very paranoid about my mortality and i had watched x-files and the film 'Fire in the Sky' too many times. My bed was beneath a skylight and on a full moon i used to sleep down beside my bed on the floor. because i thought that the light beam might be the aliens, coming to beam me through my skilight.
