Childhood Fear

When i was a little kid, i had the huge fear of something being in my closet. My closet was across from my bed, so if it was open at night there was no way that i was going to sleep, so i would lay in my bed and cry and scream until my mom or dad would come in and ask what is wrong. I would always make them close my closet door, and check my closet from top to bottom to make sure that nothing was in it, even though i swore that something was always in there, but they always assured me nothing was in there. I would wake up in the middle of the night and would be scared to move because i would think that something was in my closest.
