This is a serious fear of mine...

Yup

Might I recommend the book "Dawn" by Elie Wiesel?

My room is near the alley so i'm constantly looking out the window.For these reasons:
(1) Scare someone walking down
(2) Watch people
(3) Expect to see someone staring at me
(4) Cause I'm bored

Omg sooooo true...I have to turn on EVERY light when I go downstairs at night.
