Writer's Block: Fearsome

I think I had too great fears - Epilepsy and the Dark.

I had epileptic seizures intermittently in my childhood, and regularly from years 8 to 18. It was something that just took control of my life. I've done a comic about this.

I had my fear of the dark well until I was 22. What cured me was riding home on my bicycle from a party held in Kalamunda after midnight with a friend. This was just after seeing Alien for the first time and it was still vivid in my mind. Haven't feared the dark at all since then, and often it seems like a friend.
