3 fears I used to have

This is a follow-up to the previous post of "My five greatest fears". I hinted I would be doing this, but I could only think of three fears, not five. So this will be shorter than M5GF (I think you know what that stands for).

1. The light at the end of the hallway. At the end of the hallway there is a little box set on the wall that was part of the alarm system (it's no longer in use). The box has a red LED inside of a plastic window that lights up when it detects movement. Being young(er), I was quite afraid that that box was...I'm not sure really. Maybe I thought it was a robot. Or a Transformer. That remains a mystery to me.

2. The painting at the other end of the hallway. I don't know what it was about that hallway, but for me there were terrors at either end. At one end there was the light. And at the other was a painting. It was a painting of a black man, but at the time I thought it more of a monster of the evil depths. Or maybe a slightly sinister guitar. (It was NOT AT ALL in the form of a person. The only humanoid features are the eyes [actually just circles next to each other]. I don't have anything against black people. That is insanity. Actually, I am part black.) Wherever I went, it seemed that the demon/guitar was watching me. If you could see it, you would understand.

3. Moths. This may seem strange, but when I was little, I saw a moth fly close to my eyes. Those antennae with the weird protrusions just sent shivers down my spine. They still kind of creep me out. Anyone with me on this?

For those who wish it, the email is rainydaysat340@gmail.com.
