ehy dear @ginnyannette, your writing is so expressive! it is really true that the falling of night makes the world of daylight a different world. and with your words, you have perfectly rendered every little detail, every strange thought, making us perceive that subtle emotion of fear ... will there be someone or not ??? I usually am not afraid when I come back alone in the evening, and indeed I laugh a bit about who has it, but sometimes there are those disturbing sensations ... I too would like a guardian dog on those occasions !!
congratulations on your curie rating :-))
