The night has eyes that pierce the darkness . Predators stalk the night streets searching for easy prey. While most of the city sleeps, they operate under the cloak of darkness. History reveals the blood stained pavements of neighborhoods prone to violence. Stuffed teddy bears become a monument to the lives of sons and daughters who have become victims to violence.
We are fearful of the night where darkness prevails, but the night now shares its legacy with the day. Bold killers are spontaneous and act day or night. While we cherish the bright sunshine of day and feel somewhat safe to walk streets, it is the night we fear.
There is possibly more crime committed during the day. More people are out and about.
There is more opportunity for those inclined to commit acts of evil. The element of surprise works like a cloak of invisibility during the day. If the predator is calm and acts like nothing happened he is hardly noticed. Often the witnesses can’t believe what they actually saw because of the absolute boldness of the act. There is a tendency to be confused about what we actually saw. We get the facts twisted because of the sudden actions of the antagonist.
The night stirs the imagination of the scary causing fear when no one threatens.
We are fearful of our own shadows. If we are home alone, the slightest noise invokes nervousness. We jump at the movement of a fleeing mouse.
Our dreams of fear are called ...nightmares. It is the night that causes excitement.
Movies profit over night horrors. The Night Of The Living Dead a popular horror movie used the night to intensify the fright. Fright Night comes to mind. The Wolfman
gets jiggy at the full moon. Dracula can’t stand the daylight. Vampires love the night and hate the day. When I was a child I asked my mom to leave the light on for fear of the bogey man. Even as an adult I like having a light somewhere when I sleep.
Night is not all fearful. Ray Charles sang the night time is the right time for.......You know what! Night time is a great time for sleep and rest.
Night will always dominate its power and mystery over man. It is the night that we are mindful of. The night watches us and reveals our fears and joys.
