when you’re home alone,
it may seem scary.
you might encounter things that seem impossible.
.
you know when you see a shadow in the corner of your eye?
or you hear a bump in the other room.
or you see a glass that you swear was in a different place the last time you checked.
.
these things can easily be dismissed as hallucinations
or tricks of the mind,
but they can also, just as easily, be something lurking in the corners of your house.
.
i’m here to tell you not to worry.
there very well may be something menacing with you,
but it’s more likely not.
.
that shadow in the corner? a specter keeping an eye out for danger.
that noise in the other room? merely a phantom bumping into a chair.
that glass that you swear moved? well, spirits can play too, right?
.
that ghost isn’t there to hurt you.
so, worry not…
but tread lightly.
