Monster! At The Disco

So, a few minutes ago, I was going downstairs to get a drink. Now, picture this -

The hallway is dark, and it's about 4 steps from my room to the light switch.
The washing machine was on.
All of downstairs is dark.
The cupboard under the stairs is slightly open.

2 steps into the hallway, and the washing machine made a noise. In a millisecond, my mind connected that with the darkness and the half open cupboard, and told me:

"There's a monster downstairs!"

I'm 18 for God sake!

It actually took me a few seconds of total fear before I realised how childish I was being.

Seriously, what the actual fuck? A monster?!?!?!

My mind is fun. :)
