I was walking by AS4 after class today, just for memories' sake. It took me awhile but I finally figured out where the 6th floor was. When I walked down the same corridor that we had been forced to back into that night in Arts Camp, and I saw the shape of the corridor and what was really there, I really felt like a total idiot for being so freaked out that night.
The corridor had a T-junction in the middle and an L-junction at the end, which is why we didn't see any red lights when we looked straight down the corridor. The toilet where we met the ghost (incidently, it was a female toilet) looked perfectly normal, but I couldn't go in for obvious reasons.
Ohwells, but the important part was that I learnt something about myself that night. (quoting from Harry Potter & the Half-Blood Prince) we fear darkness because we fear the unknown. I was so freaked out simply because I could not see, and I had let my imagination run wild. It may also be an accurate reflection on how I have been responding to my problems in life.
This reminded me of part of a poem that was printed on my school diary in primary school:
And He replied: "Go out into the darkness and put your hand into the hand of God. That shall be better to you than a light and safer than a known way."
