I shared a bunk bed with my younger brother (who slept in the top bunk) and thought that gorillas had come into our room at night to get us. I would not make a sound when I woke in the middle of the night because I knew that they had already 'gotten' my brother and they were on the top bunk and under the bottom bunk, just waiting for me to get out of bed and go to the bathroom... so that they could get me too. I peed the bed more than once over that one!
