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 look behind me with my child eye and I saw…. Window!! *scream*
the horror!!!
I am like 20 and I still sleep with a bright light on! No embarrassment! No shame!
some times sleeping with the lights makes it worse, if its like a tv or night light, cause then the room has parts that are not lit, and you worry thats where they are waiting….
sorry just a thought

That’s what’s difficult about writing a really scary story. You have to force yourself to think of disturbing things, to the point where you lay awake in bed, staring at the door.
I’m almost a teenager, and I have never been actually scared of the dark, I like the dark to be honest. I’m just scared of the noises I hear in the dark. I sometimes hear noises like footsteps and breathing, so that’s why I like to fall asleep listening to a movie on the tv on low volume, but loud enough that I can’t hear anything else. Blocking out other sounds when I’m scared helps me a lot. Lol.
sitting behind me Is a puppy eating a shoe. im sooooo scared!
Uh, I’m 11, and when I looked behind me, my dad was playing video games. Yeah, not screaming… although I do feel as if there are ghosts watching me sometimes…
Ha!im 9 and I’m on my iPad!
Every night I try to explain to my dad that there is something in there. No body ever believes me. People come in there, but when they do it goes away. Oh, and I looked behind me, there was a couch..HAHAHA
Glad I didn’t read this at night
Guess what…? I turned around… and saw a WALL!!!! OMG SOMEONE HELP M:FHRoighaeo;irlahjbisj”Sgj”Pojh”P”OHTj’oahjhpjrptohjtrhjprojthp

Hahaha no I am not affraid to admit I still sleep with a light on some nights because kids have the right idea monster are real people who are bad and the things that lurk in the dark it not just the imagination I am still scared of the dark and I’m 16 years old
Totally real!!
Meh, i’ve honestly never actually been afraid of the dark, or even if this story was somewhat true, have never actually seen any monsters. Maybe it’s because I keep TV on when I go to sleep :) That’s something that gives off a comforting light.
I looked behind me with a child’s eyes and…..ahhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!
