I've wondered, too, about why I feel afraid to be alone at night. Part of it is the fear of someone breaking into my apartment. I have some fear about there being a fire, fearing how I will get my five cats out. But I also just...fear...being alone. I cannot pinpoint why, really. I guess I feel like if something goes wrong there is no one else to help me handle it. I try not to dwell on the fear, and I try to have faith in the universe or God or whatever it might be called. Instead of focusing on the fear, I try to focus on being safe in my apartment.

Anyway, good post, rdgrad15.
