QotD: Childhood Frights
What were you afraid of as a child that seems silly to you now?

I was afraid of the slow strobing, red aircraft warning light on the water tower, which was visible from my bedroom window. In my mind it was always watching me, like the eye of some enormous creature which came alive only in my dreams.
I would pull the curtain aside ever-so-slightly to sneak horrible, mesmerizing glances of the metal giant who patiently waited to break free of its eternal stasis.
