During those cold dark nights, little children aren't the only ones who get scared of monsters under the bed or nightmares that come to life because of their imaginative young minds. Everybody is afraid of something. No one is an exception to fear. 

Monsters, evil spirits, ghosts...even demons. They all linger into one place...

Darkness.

And knowing that these abominations of the world awaits you from the dark, are you still brave enough to shut the lights out?

Lights Out: Nightmares Unleashed

IT WAS THE FIRST day of school and my first day as a 10th grader. 


I wasn't all that excited. Schools are for geeks. In fact, I was looking forward to staying in bed 'til late noon if it weren't for my mother whose voice still rang in my ear as I took a shower. 


"Kristtoffer Keller, if you're still in bed the moment I come up there, I'm gonna slap you in the butt it will glow-in-the-dark red." She yelled from downstairs. 


So I had no choice. I have to be up and about if I don't want to - she said and I quote - my butt to be glow-in-the-dark red. 


It only took me ten minutes to get ready and once I came down for breakfast, Mom was done cooking a plate of scrambled eggs, bacon and some sausages, toasted bread and waffles. Dad was already seated at the table, reading the daily newspaper. A little old fashion, I know. But he prefers it that way even though he knows he can check out the news on the internet. 


Mom frowned when she saw me. "Honey, you could've cleaned up a bit."
