"The Day I was really scared”
Hello to the home of Steemit.
I am @peacebalq from my country Nigeria.
Stay strong as you read down to the last word. Many many thanks to @senehasa for the contest.
✔️What was happening? Who was with you?
I was very small when this very incidence happened and It cannot be a forgetting story because what happened to me that day was extremely memorable. Right from my childhood, I have been so scared that even in the noon time, I was always having fears allover.
What happened on that faithful night was that, I slept very early around 5pm so when I woke up around 7pm, I was confused and in those days, the whole house uses candle and there is no light anywhere anyhow. I woke up in fear with no one around me so that also contributed to my fears that day.
✔️How did you feel?
I felt very scary and wishes someone could come grab me out of that dark to that has no light, I was very scared you know children who are still coming up are always scared of unknown which I believe that all of us has passed through this vet stage in life. That room has NEPA light but as at when I woke I realised that there is no light and I am the only person in the dark room so I cried and shouted out until my mummy came with the candle light.
✔️Explain what led to the fear and what you did to handle it.
What led to the fear was simply the interruption of the NEPA light. Its a normal thing for a child to be scared nut you see the very thing that triggered the fear so well was that reason that there was no NEPA light and I woke up in the dark thinking I am already in hell fire. There was nothing I could do and my parents and siblings were all outside the house building so I screamed aloud and they came to open the door and funny enough tyebdior was locked outside.
✔️How did things end?
Screaming was the best option at that time. When they heard me from outside, they rushed in to the room thinking something has happened to me but when they asked I told them everywhere was dark that was why I screamed for help so I can say that the end was my excitement point at that time yes.
How did this moment stay with you?
It wasn't really funny because what I was feeling and thinking althrough that night in the dark room was that I was already in hell or somewhere not on earth and the mentality of children is always the fear of leaving their parents to somewhere unsafe.
If you see a child being scared, don't scold at him too much because he is a child and that dear is naturally in the .
