My bedroom window faced the street outside, and I thought that the cars that passed outside at night were driven by maniac people who had the power to know if I was still awake and moving around in bed , and that they would come deliberately plowing into the wall with the car if they sensed me. As long as the headlights didn't graze me I would be okay.
