You know how you can watch a scary movie and be all brave when your friends are around and then you get home and leave all the lights on all night because something might be lurking in the shadows, and light is the only thing that keeps the boogie man away?
That’s kind of the effect these avatars have on us.
When we head to bed, we start thinking up all the creepy ways we could turn into @akojen.

First, we imagine that @Integrateit is the guy peeking in our window – the hatchet just out of view…
…and @SavageMike is exactly the kind of guy who would be hiding in the closet, or under the bed.
So we get up, and look into all the rooms, all the closets, all the cupboards, and head back to bed, Still Not Sleeping because -
we have to get back up and double-check the locks on all the doors and windows in case @Stoneymack is out there.
When we finally drift off to a troubled sleep, we encounter @nakedjoker…
…and like @WyattAK, we can’t scream…
