To DrinLP- You understood the point exactly. It's a story about unfounded fear that seizes you in its grip. Like you say, almost everyone experiences it at some point. If the ending was that I made it all the way to the living room and thought I was safe, but no, there really was a killer or something else to be genuinely afraid of, it may have been more dramatic and less anti-climatic, but it would've completely changed the meaning. I didn't set out to fool people into thinking there'd be a big twist, but I find it interesting that that's what's happening. In any case, I'm glad you liked it!

By the way, the second paragraph, the one talking about freezing with fear in the bathroom, describes a real event. Afterward I thought, "Okay, what if it was worse? What if I had an attack like that, and it turned out there was a blackout?" That's how this story came about.

To Mr. Tuto- I'm going to your comment as praise. "No, everyone likes the story! It brings them laughter!" ;-) Raidra (talk) 17:33, March 7, 2014 (UTC)
