soft barrier
Before I go to sleep each night, I have to stuff a blanket under my door, and make sure there are absolutely no little gaps where anything could come in. There can be no places where I could even mistake a gap for a shadow, it has to be perfect. If I do not do this, I can’t sleep. I feel as though something will slip under my door during the night and hurt me.








I definitely used to do this when I was younger, and had a horrible fear of a bug crawling into my room and down my throat, and having little hatchlings in my neck.
