Longing in the Dark

Did anyone call you in the darkness behind you? Is there anyone behind the curtains in the room? Why do I get nervous when I sleep with my feet outside the quilt? Where does the sound of marbles on the ceiling late at night come from? What is the reason for this familiar scene? Is the vague feeling of being watched an illusion? Why don't we use the corner of our eyes to pay attention to our surroundings? What's hiding in the shadows? What are the beings in the darkness longing for? Do 'they' really exist?
