Afraid Quote by J.D. Jacobs
““Fear was something that cropped up on occasion — like when she was little and someone forgot to switch on her Winnie the Pooh nightlight. Fear was something that happened, and then left. Now it was something that was. Something that could penetrate. Something that could stay. Always lurking. Waiting to strike. She was right, of course. The little girl who was scared of the dark was really just afraid of the unknown.””
