The chair and desk and stuff, they change in the darkness. Like people change. And I lay in my bed and I think, you know, this is the way the chair really is. The way it looks in the daytime, that's just a foolie. It looks that way to make me think it's all right. But it's an ugly thing, a chair at night is. And I know even in the day that it's ugly underneath. It will be ugly again, when I'm alone with it. When it's dark.. I'm scared of chairs.. I try not to be scared of things. I try to fight it. But I'm not good at it. It's everywhere at once. It's like fighting the night.Torey L. Hayden
