On daily circumstances, how many people do you trust while you’re on work? Or perhaps let me try to ask you a different question, do you even somehow trust the people which are sitting right besides you, whether you’re on a subway, a bus, or currently in a cafe reading this post where everyone else are currently doing there work on their own? You feel that urge of anxiety knowing that at least, maybe, one or two “human beings” which are surrounding your space and environment may seem odd or suspicious. Who knows, they might stalk you until dawn, try to gather information regarding yourself for their advantage. Ladies and gentleman, paranoia kills your soul, gently, slowly. They come and go in various different shape and sizes. Want some examples? Oh you got it~
Imagine this, you’re all alone at home, knowing that your mom and dad left a note that they will come back late, let’s just say they have a meeting or something like that. You’re older brother, or any kind of sibling you imagine are also out of town going on a road trip and such. You’re currently living in a two-stories house, not too grand or extravagant, just a casual and calm home for a decent family. You live on the second floor, a room with a view right to the street. While watching the TV you noticed several local news station reported that an inmate just escaped prison and currently undergoing investigation, on the other news you see that a car crash accident took place nearby a highway not too far from your home, after a couple of late night talk show on various channels, there is one channel which televise horror movies and another sending out a PSA that a massive blackout is currently striking nearby cities from one to another. Feel that tension building up inside of you, as the adrenaline and other various hormones rushing in your bloodstream and nerve systems, you quickly lock your windows, dash through each doors to make sure their shut tight, grabbing some snacks and a knife just to make sure, you run back upstairs and build a fort inside your room, hopefully foolproof enough. Double checking everything, done, another quick round up check, done, one final check to make sure that squeaking sound on the keyhole is gone, done. You are ready to venture in the night, while hopefully thinking and imagining these statements :
1. You are all alone at night
2. A somewhat inmate is currently lose, he might end up going after your parents, you sibling, or even sneak up to yourself
3. A car crash which took place nearby could possible involve your family
4. A horror movie that you watch happens to be one of the scariest movie you stumble upon and nonetheless a reported blackout will occur in a couple of minutes
The more you rapidly think, over and over about these thoughts, the more you feel insecure, scared, nerve wrecking chills shiver to your bones, goosebumps everywhere. The more you try to deny these facts just makes it worse. As you try to reach out for your phone and call everyone you know, well... Turns out... Nothing happens... There’s no blackout, there’s no weird serial killers that pops out right from your closet, no ghosts crawls from your ceiling, no nothing~ Your parents did send you a belated message saying that they are okay and currently on their way back home, your sibling is having a blast of party after you saw their pic over at Instagram. Aren’t you glad that nothing bad did happen? You then take a sip of water and lazily sleep on your bed, enjoying the various late night comedy shows. Paranoia, anxiety, and overthinking will kill you. But right now, you can sit down, sleep tight, calm and ease your way through the night. Close your eyes, and indulge in paranoia once more as you hear a small step walking inside your room, a creak above your head, and the lamp bulb flickers on and off. Welcome to madness. Before I end this random though, lemme ask you all one thing.
