Sho's Diary - Chapter 5 - The Childhood Fear

You all probably be wondering why I had this title for the chapter, it is only because everyone must've had a childhood fear in us somewhere in our lives. This chapter is dedicated to all those people that had lived or still living with fears from their childhood and truthfully behind the success of my horror stories, there was a girl with a childhood fear and that girl was me.

When I was 4 years old, I never was scared of anything and it is only because I had never known of a fear that would scare me but one day, it all changed when I had experienced a scary moment when my mum was watching an indian horror series called 'Zee Horror Show.' It all started when I heard the scary theme song to this horror series which always got me really scared and frightened and also watching the episodes were damn scary at that time. I never used to go anywhere alone in the house and sometimes I ask someone to come with me or I just cover my head with a towel because I used to think that someone is watching me and it's out to get me when I'm alone. Plus, when I say or hear the name, it gives me shivers and I can never say the name from my mouth just like the way the people can never mention Voldermort from their mouths in Harry Potter.

I was ridiculed sometimes because of that fear because it seemed kinda silly but for some reason, when I hear that scary song, I get horrible nightmares and sometimes I get scared to fall asleep thinking that I would have another nightmare or that someone may be watching me in the dark when I don't cover myself with the blanket. It had been going on since the rest of my life until the show stopped airing in 1999 when I was 10 years old. Although I was glad that I didn't have to hear that song anymore or that my mum, brothers and sister don't have to watch it anymore, I realised that there can also be re-runs of the series which can be really annoying and still the memory of that scary song still haunts me forever. Plus, whenever I have a nightmare, that scary song always plays in the background all the time.

Honestly, if it weren't for these fears, I would've had the guts to write a short horror story for a English assignment, tell horror stories to my young cousins and also write my own horror stories here in AsianFanfics. It's alright to have a fear that may sound a little silly but always remember is to never get scared a lot at this fear of yours and always think something pleasant to get rid of the scary thoughts and trust me because it worked on me lol. And also make sure you all don't read my horror stories at night because it will be even more scarier when you imagine them lol.
