When I was five I got my own room after having to share with my younger sisters since they were born. Although I liked it at first, after a few weeks I became more and more afraid of of the vampire that lived on top of the cupboard and never wanted to go to sleep in case I wouldn't wake up the next morning. After a few months a neighbour gave us one of those sets of bunk beds that has cupboards and drawers where the bottom bunk should be, when her kid had outgrown it, but I was too scared to sleep in it because that would mean that the vampire would have to sleep in my bed because if I was sleeping on top of the wardrobe.
