Dark Fear
Last night like every other night We crept up to bed about midnight, both kids sleeping, and soon it wasn’t long til i was out for the count. About 2.10am the screams and sobs of Ben and Maddie echoed as they woke because the safey of a hall light being on all night had dissappeared. I awoke as always trying to put the lamp on beside me with no success, it was so dark, suddenly i felt scared, yet i wanted to be the macho man that would save the day, i didn’t know were the candles or anthing else was to make light, my mobile phone became a torch to begin this rescue mission.
First port of call was to get both kids into mummy and daddies bed, after tripping over a bit of stuff i got there, then i ventured downstairs which was now freezing with the heat having been off a while to find a battery powered light, thankfully i got one, as i looked outside to see pure black, everything ran through my head.
Is God about to come or has he left? then I though It can’t be sure maddie isn’t at the age of understanding yet and ben is still a little way off on that, then I prayed to you know say sorry for anything i’d forgot about .
We decided the only warm safe place to go was the car, and muggins here would drive round the countryside for most of the night , so after getting ready, getting the kids wrapped up in blankets, and getting my shoes on…. the lights came back on!
I have to admit i seen the funny side of it, but i have to admit – its the first time i was scared of the dark!
