Never, ever under any circumstances go outside at night. If your job requires it, quit. If your house is on fire, put it out or die. If you forgot to get groceries, go hungry. If your friends suggests it, dump them. If someone tries to drag you out the door, fight with every bone in your body. If you want to find love, you can’t. If you want some fresh air, just wait until morning. There is never a good reason to go outside at night.

Why?

It’s dangerous, there are so many things out there. A car might drive into you. Someone might try to kidnap you. Someone might break in and steal all your food. You might get arrested for looking shady and lose your job. You could be shot, or worse, survive a shooting where your friends all die. Maybe a war has just started and you haven’t heard and someone might just fly across the sky and drop a bomb but if you’d just been a little further away, inside your house, you would’ve been okay.

Maybe.

Possibly.

You just don’t get it.

It’s not safe.

It doesn’t feel safe.

I just want to feel safe.

You can’t make me go.

But if you do.

Can you hold my hand?
