The darkness is ugly. The dark conceals. It represents the unknown to the human brain. To a child, this inspires fear at the prospect of a monster lurking behind the veil of darkness. But, this is not only fear to be outgrown by a bedwetting child. It is easy for us to take comfort in what is immediately seen; we like when the whole picture is laid before our eyes, nothing unexpected. However, there is another dimension to this limited sight–the unseen. The unseen, like the frightful darkness, is hard for us to see. So, we associate it with fear. But, can’t this also be a source of beauty? How can we live when we only want to see what is familiar to us, or, in other words, what is in the light. We may not know everything around us. But, I concede that the darkness is the reason to live, to see what is unusual, strange, and out of the ordinary lurking in the shadows. This monster that causes the child to clunch his/her covers more tightly has no reason to be feared at all.

The way you describe things is very precise and provides great imagery for the reader. The way your story flows is just amazing and makes for a captivating read. I like how you take darkness apart into many different components and then link them back together in a different way at the end for the reader to finally comprehend your point of view.
