I need prayer. I've scared myself I'm literally physically shaking right now. I didn't mean to scare myself it wasn't intentional. What happened was about a week ago I entered a writing contest and if I win I could win $100 and have my story that I wrote published. Even if I don't win my story will be looked at by publisher's and they will give me their thoughts on my writing to help me improve. Well, the people holding the contest gave out four different storylines to choose from and you choose from one of those and write your story and submit it. I chose one about a woman living in New York who discovers one day that her father is a vampire. I thought this would be neat as I've never read or written anything about vampires before. However, since I know next to nothing about vampire's I thought I should read into the subject to help me write my story. Now I wish I never looked into it. I watched the 1931 film Dracula and I've been reading Bram Stokers Dracula. Now I'm getting bad dreams of Dracula coming for me in the night. The other night I was terrified to go into my own hallway because the hallway was dark and I was afraid that Dracula would be there. I've been afraid at night and I now keep a cross next to me cause I'm afraid. I don't want to be afraid because I know vampires don't exist and Dracula doesn't exist. I've watched and read other horrors before and they didn't scare me at all. I've watched Jaws, 1931 Dr.Jekyll and Mr.Hyde, and Lon Chaney's Phantom Of The Opera and none of them scared me at all. I don't understand fully what scares me so much about vampires and Dracula I only know that right now I'm physically shaking and I'm frightened though I know like I said that vampires and Dracula don't exist. I'm gonna stop reading Bram Stokers Dracula. I'm gonna pick another subject for the writing contest. Please pray that GOD will help me to no longer be afraid and forget everything I have seen and read about vampires and Dracula and that the bad dreams will stop.
