S L O A N

I was a kid when I stopped being afraid of the things that'd go bump in the night.

When I was young I would run my hands through the thick of the air that drowned me, passed through torn blankets and seeped into tissue paper skin in the dead of the night. Fingers curled and dirty fingertips tracing the way the moonlight scattered and bounced across my ceiling with the sway of the trees outside my window I'd whisper the same tunes I'd hear drip from my Father's lips to the night itself, to the chirp of the cicadas and the rustle of the leaves.

With every floorboard that creaked or pipe that howled underneath that blanket of shadows and darkness I'd stop, muscles tense and heartbeat thump thump hammering in my chest. One breath two breath, hearing my own ragged breaths pouring from my lips until eventually I could do nothing but accept whatever danger lurked around every corner, seeped into every peeled burnt wallpaper that coated the hallways and go about my own business.

It has a way of growing on you, when you force yourself to live like that, until eventually that same fear you once felt numbs you to the core. It turns you hollow, and in a place like Six hollow is the best thing you can be.

I hear those same things that'd go bump in the night when I hear their heartbeat, see the shadows that'd taunt and dance across my ceiling when I look into their eyes, assure them that they'll be okay as they're taken into the hospital. Heart too cold and brain too big to tell them the truth anymore, that the morphling they pull into shattered veins are too strong even for the best of us medics to heal. Not afraid of the things that go bump in the night anymore, and that's what truly scares me.
