You are pretending to convince yourself that you are asleep in your room but you know that you are not sleepy. From all corners of the room, sounds of creepy footsteps reach your ears. You can swear that the curtains drifted themselves and back. Perspiring, you hurl your blanket closer to your body and wrap it painfully around yourself. You think that whatever happens outside, you are safe inside your covers.

Then you blink and there is not a sign of the blanket. You lie there, facing the ceiling and the cold nips at you. You wouldn't dare to fetch a new blanket from your wardrobe. It seems that your room has doubled itself in size, so that the walls are far away. And even the tick-tock sound of the wall clock sounds as if an intruder is clicking its tongue, amused at your insecurity.
One thing, your room is secure.
