Child’s Eyes is a very short tale of horror about the things that lurk in the dark. The things that adults can’t see.
Through the eyes of a child, the world is very different. Every child has a fear of what is lurking under their bed. They fear what is hiding in the closet or peeping in at them through the little crack in a door that’s standing ajar.
A doctor would tell you that children are much more perceptive than adults. Their eyes are able to see the things that an adult’s eyes cannot see. When you grow up, you become blind to the dangers that creep and crawl through the darkness. Children can see what is truly there. They see the monsters.
If you were to look, for just one night, through a child’s eyes, you would know what true fear really is. If you were able to see again the things you only dimly remember from your childhood, imagine how terrifying that would be. Can you remember those sleepless nights, burrowing under your covers, shaking and shivering in the darkness, afraid to move, afraid to make a sound, afraid to breathe?
Those are the nights that adults forget. The nights when you would cover yourself completely with your blankets, so that the monsters couldn’t see you. The nights when you would hold your breath, so the monsters couldn’t hear you. The nights when you would lie as still as possible, so you wouldn’t attract their attention. I know you remember those nights.
The only thing that would protect you was light. Bright light. You slept with the light on. That made it safe. That meant they couldn’t get you.
Teenagers are caught in the middle. They still sense that something is there in the darkness, but they try to convince themselves it’s just their imagination. They’re embarrassed to sleep with the light on. Teenagers have forgotten that light is the only thing that can keep them away.
While you’re sitting there in front of your computer, do you think that the light from your monitor will be enough to keep them away?
Sorry. It’s not.
Now look behind you with a child’s eyes and try not to scream.
I turned around and saw…MY SISTER!! Hey everyone I’ve been reading for a while and now I made an account so I’m new here I guess.
I turned around and saw the framed pictures that hang on the wall, and I was terrified. They weren’t lined up in the order they were when I walked into the room.
I turned around and saw……….GASP……….my dolls!!!!! Help me!!!!!!!!! They are walking help me plea-
I turned around and I saw…my reflection!
What has this world come to? *shakes head*
i wish i was a child again you could get away with sleeping with the lights on, i’m 17 now and my brother thinks i’m a wimp because i still sleep with the lights on….children aren’t the only ones that see the things that lurk within the darkness >:)
I turned around and saw… My porcelain doll. Wait… Wasn’t that downstairs O.o
When I was a child I always used to see two ladies in my room their faces were twisted and their teeth sharp and jagged. I used to scream at the tops of my lungs but their was a man in black and he had a machete in his hands all the time. I never moved when he was around I just let him watch me sleep. I turned around and guess what I saw? My shadow. Wai…… my lights aren’t on and its night timethere aren’t supposed to be shadows.. ahhhhh!!!
