To confront your childhood fears, you decide to go down to the basement in complete darkness. After some time, feeling empowered, you turn around to go up the stairs... 🔻
This is the kind of stuff I thought of when I slept in a basement "bedroom" that was the farthest from the stairs upstairs. I can remember one night in middle school watching a horror video and coming out of my room only to find all the lights were off, besides the light in my room, and I rushed as fast as humanly possible to the door leading to the stairs, which for some reason was also closed.
