make-believe: monsters

I used to believe…

When i was very little, I would go to my parent's room if I had a nightmare.I thought that at one window, an alien would be looking inside,in another a T-rex would be looking inside, and in the last one on the way, a robber would be looking inside.

I used to believe…

When we were little, my mom and dad took us to see Jurassic Park. On night when I snuck out of bed, I happened to look out the window, and right across the pool I saw a Tyrannasaurus Rex!!! So from then I was determined that there was a Rex in our yard, and that it would chow me if I left my curtain open. Only later did I discover that the "Rex" was a silouette of a tree against the sky... that tree really gave me a start, and it all began with Jurassic Park!

When i was about 9, my nabors used to tell me there was a Fox that would come out at night and eat me. It would scare me so much that i wouldn't try to go play outside with them at night.
They had peace for a while.. BUT NOT ANYMORE
mouaahahahha

when i was younger i used to believe that monsters got their power from the darkness, so that's why they lived in dark places like wardrobes, under the bed, in attics, in garages, in cuboards and basements. and i was so terrierfied of going to places like that on my own that i armed myself with my toy sword. and turned on the light because i believed monsters hated light because it weakened them and if they didn't get out the way fast enough it killed them. but even though now i know they don't exist, i'm still a bit scard of the dark.

I used to believe…

there were these tiny little armys of guys who lined up in single file and marched from the "evil side" of my bed around past me then turned and went back again. Sometimes if i was awake when they came by they would kill me, sometimes if i was asleep when they came by they would kill me. I used to be up all night incase they went by on one of the kill me if im asleep ones. When it was the kill me if im awake ones i would just desperatly pretend to be asleep for a minuite until they were gone.

i was stressed

I used to believe…

My dad started letting me watch MTV cartoons like The Max, when I was really little. One time I asked him if the little black, alien dudes with viscous teeth were real. He told me yes, and that they terrorize little kids at night if their out after dark. Ever since that day, when I hear loud music at night, I imagine them crammed into the cars, biting the heads of chickens and freaking people out like on the cartoon.

when i was young my best friend and neighbour's mom use to babysit me. They were portugese and I was Canadian. We ate typical Canadian food such as meat and potatoes. My friends family ate food I never saw before. The fish still had eyes in it. One day I was there and opened the fridge and to my surprise I found monsters there. They had big claws and were moving around. I went screaming and running saying there is monsters in the fridge. I discovered later it was to be dinner. Live crabs.

When I was 6, I fell into a water well, and as I was sinking I "saw" king kong pulling me down. Of course now I know it wasn´t king kong, but "somenthing" was definetely pulling.

I used to believe…

When I was 6 I thought there was a hunter and his bloodhound and they would always try to kill me and put my head on a wall as a trophy. I would always hide under the covers at night when I was sure they were coming. And then one night, I pulled off his jacket, and they turned out to be a bunch of baby chickens stacked on each other's backs who just came to give me candy.

I used to believe…

When i was lil and for my brother as well, my parents would tell us if we didnt go to sleep that cuco would come get us. Now cuco was suppose to be a big scary monster that ate lil kids. Now me being a frady cat always listened but my brother he never did so one night my father dressed up as cuco. Well he did scary someone but not my brother. in fact he was craking up. me on the other hand........

I used to believe…

When i was younger, like 5 or 4, i thought that when i would see a scary movie or somen like tha, the "monsters" would come to get me because i watched them at work. when turned 12 i realized that, "why would they come after me when they don't know where i am?" some things still scary the hell me! but i just keep thinking about that saying....

I used to believe…

When I was really young my brother was really into Goosebumps books. I would always look at the covers and the only one that creeped me out was the one with the dummy used but a vantrillaquist. I never wanted to be alone, thinking it was right behind me getting ready to scare the death out of me, so i would always turn around just to be safe.

I used to believe…

When I was little, my sister and my two cousins were waiting for our parents outside a dressing room and I guess my older sister and older cousin wanted to have the couch to theirselves so they told us that there was a monster that lives under the cushion and that they would protect us by sitting on it. lol.

I used to believe…

When i was young, i used to have a reacuring dream of the grim reaper epearing in my corridor. SO every time i wanted to go through the corridor, i would sprint as fast as i could. The weird thing is that i had nerver seen the grim reaper anywhere apart from my dreams. freaky dont u think?

I used to believe there were two spirits in front of my window (I live in a really high penthouse) commenting on my day: if I did something good, they were happy, if not... :)
I also was scared about snakes getting on my bed from somewhere, maybe a hole in the wall or something. And I was affraid of something attacking me if I didn't cover myself good with the covers... :

I used to believe that sharks or alligators would come out of the vent in swimming pools. I would rarely go to the deep end and if I did, I would always check to see if something was coming out of the vent.

I used to believe…

When I was younger, I use to believe that if I didn't cover up my feet when I was going to bed something bad would happen to me in the middle of the night. Age 7 + horror movies, don't mix.
