When I was a child, I used to be afraid of my own cellar in my house.
One evening, I was down in my cellar and I heard a really strange noise. Since this day, my own cellar frightened me.
One year later, my brother told me that he had locked my cat into the cellar because it annoyed him. At this moment, I understood I was stupid but now I'm not totally serene when I go down in my cellar...I always have doubts...
